Yes, it's mild steel. It's the last place you want to buy it, but if you have no other source there it is.

Telephone book, yellow pages, under "Steel" "Steel Fabricators" "Welding & Welding Supplies". These people make things of steel, mostly by welding, shearing, and bending, and they will sell steel more cheaply than Lowe's. They get it a bunch cheaper.
