Which is stronger, steel pipe or round steel? Which is good at bending?
The strength of the steel pipe is slightly lower, but its weight is light, so as long as the wall thickness is reasonable, the experienced designer uses steel pipe instead of round steel.Like me, that's it
Round bars are, of course, more powerful, but not much higher.
Of resistance to shearing, of course, of high round steel, generally used with steel tubes (light weight and material saving) for transmitting torque
