Strength of aluminum and mild steel tubing?
Hi guys,[CENTER]I'm new to this forum and I'm trying to build a new training aide for use in the Emergency Medical field. What I'm looking for is some information on the use of aluminum or mild steel tubing. I have built at prototype with 3 1/2"x 1 1/2" x1/8" aluminum tubing and we are looking at changing it to mild steel. I'm trying to keep the weight down as this aide is basically a mock car and I want to be able to roll it on its side or top. The current model weighs 250lbs. Is their a mild steel tubing that would match this weight and be as strong?[/CENTER]
