Who are you, and why are you interjecting facts into this
conversation?

Have I blinded everyone with science ? Sorry, I won't do it again.
Okay, yes I will, just for you (tensile stength) :

7075-T6 aluminium = 76,000 psi
Mild Steel = 50,000 psi

I think that's about right.

Actually mild steel is usually around 36,000 psi, by the time you get in
the range of 50,000 psi you are into the high strength steels.
