Stainless varies from about 75K to 190K PSI Tensile, depending on the

Hi Folks,

 

I found a nice length of stainless steel pipe 2" OD (.250" wall) by 10ft
that I thought might make a nice mast stub.  How would this tubing's
strength compare to 6061 aluminum of similar dimensions?

 

Thanks,

Dave 

Wa3gin
