Default Material for hinge pins in aluminum

Alum much softer metal, probably won't last long.

Hi All,
I'm building an aluminum hinged cover for a dry well. The
hinge barrels are
1" o.d. aluminim and I had originally planned on stainless
hinge pins. Any
reason not to use aluminum hinge pins (much cheaper)?
Thanks,
Nok
