Steel I think, are you needing to know for welding purposes?

Don't worry you aren't the first and you won't be the last, Have seen them leak due to cracking aswell 
I believe its steel but i don't know to what spec.

Surprisingly thin steel as well, as I discovered when one of my brackets fractured.
Very easy to mig back on though.
