Old bed frames work well for angle iron. They are tempered steel, very strong, 

Very strong indead but hard to drill and weld doesn't stick to them to well .  They have a very high carbon content.   I found this out the hard way 😂

    drilling is very difficult, I agree. but the welds I did with a 110 volt welder worked okay for the application. The important ones were plug welds and they functioned a lot like rivets.
