like wrought iron? maleable iron? or is it a type of steel? The supplier should be able to provide mechanical properties... If a mild steel, yield strength should be about 30-35 ksi minimum... if you are using it for 'critical' applications, then you might have a local testing agency undertake some coupon testing...

Give a call to the supplier and get the mill certs if its already built, or call a local supplier and ask what he can get and have him send you the sizes and properties and then specify them accordingly, listing the supplier in the specs.
When dealing with specialty steels / aluminums / plastics / bronzes the available sizes are as important as the available materials.....
