In some cases, depending on the size and weight of tubular steel pipe vs the same or similar size solid steel bar, the tubular steel might be stronger. The molecular structure of the solid steel have the molecules stacked close together, any shock or stress will compress the molecules closer together with no place to go unless the steel bends or breaks. A steel tube has the hollow area which allows shock or stress to be released, it will be less likely to bend or break. It also depends on what the application is tubular steel will definitely be lighter in weight, can be filled, run wiring or plastic tubing through it. Cost is cheaper.

A good hardware store will have stainless steel tubing. A lot of the local mom and pop stores have gone out of business but if you have one try there. Otherwise try a home depot or Lowes.
What are the advantages of stainless steel tubing over other tubing types?
Stainless steel fasteners are made of steel that has been mixed with at least a ten percent compound of chromium, and possibly other metals, so that the steel doesn't rust or corrode. This makes stainless steel fasteners great for outdoor conditions, where there is a lot of water or moisture. Especially if you are building something that supports a substantial amount of weight, such as humans, you will need to use stainless steel fasteners. Steel all by itself can rust until it breaks, and nobody wants that. When stainless steel fastening systems such as nuts and bolts are employed, they tend to meld together. This is due to the chromium layer on the surface of the stainless steel being exposed to oxygen for a short time before fastening. When the pieces are screwed together, the oxygen is taken out of the equation, solidifying the bond. This process is called "galling". There are other types of stainless steel fasteners that resist becoming brittle at lower temperatures. These stainless steel screws are infused with nickel. The nickel also works to de-magnetize the stainless steel. Manganese can also be used in place of, or in cooperation with, nickel, to roughly the same effect, but at a lower cost. Carbon can also be used to reinforce the steel compound. When subjected to heat, these fasteners can become hardened and strengthened to create finer elements, like the point of the screw, as well as the threads.
