How would you work out the force exerted on a load bearing cylinder?

The cylinder in question is pic related. It has a diameter of 48.3mm and a thickness of 3mm. The cylinder is made of steel.

I need to know what kind of weight I can put on it so it becomes inelastic i.e it bends so much it doens't spring back to shape. The pole is fixed between two other poles, separated by a distance of 0.6m (so the length of the pole = 0.6m)

How do I go about doing that, it's been a while since I did Physics! This isn't homework I legitimately would like to calculate this for a DIY building project i'm doing.

Thanks guys.
