They're *******s to weld.
The HAZ ends up large and very brittle.
If you do weld a bedframe, then normalize around the weld for at least a
few inches - preferably more.
Don't ask how I know.

The angle melts more easily than 60xx filler rod and may pull away from the
bead. I switched to bolted joints so I don't know if a higher strength
(lower melting) rod would help.

I have had good luck with Mig welding. But do not use bed frame angle
iron for things that have much stress.

Around here the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores do not have cheap
bedframes.
