There’s a lot of information on weathering steel in Modern Steel Construction magazine. Keith Grubb wrote an informative SteelWise article in the February issue (visit www.modernsteel.com and click on archives; the article is titled: “Out in the open”).
Also, if you’re trying to obtain A588 structural shapes, Metals USA has a large inventory.

Ken,
I think you are looking at ASTM A588 structural steel shapes which has a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi and a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi. I believe it is available but I would first check with your local fabricator and/or mill.

Does any one have more information weather structural steel? What is the specification tensile strength or grade? Are they availabe to purchase?
TIA
No, he's talking about ASTM A 709 plus ASTM A 325 Type III bolts.
