Re: Won't bend or rust. What metal do I need?

Yield strength is deformation... Bending
Tensile strength is failure.... Beyond deformation

Some metals will deform close to the failure point and some will not. The above link is a good reference point for engineering information. It has a spreadsheet of yield and tensile strengths of many materials for quick comparison.

You will need to search for corrosion advice.
