I probably need a longer than average seat post for a bicycle.

Many are aluminum, or aluminum alloy. Others are steel. Can aluminum

Aluminum seat posts are generally in the range of 4 or 5 times
thicker than steel - so PLENTY strong particularly if they are made of
a good alloy like 7005 or 6061 at T6 hardness.
