Of them, carbon steel is the widely used material for making a welding table. Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Next, the best option is a Stainless Steel welding table. It has chromium content which provides corrosion resistance to the table. The higher is the chromium content in the stainless steel, the better will be the corrosion resistance and shiny surface.
Cast iron mainly grey cast iron acts as an excellent surface for welding. Its high vibration damping capacity absorbs any vibration that occurred during the process and keeps the work stable. Also, it doesn't allow any weld spatter to stick on it ensuring clean welding.

For welding of carbon steel workpieces, a welding table made of carbon steel does the work well. For welding of stainless steel jobs, an aluminum-copper alloy that is non-ferritic is suitable in making a welding table. In the case of stainless steel parts, ferritic surfaces are to be avoided. Thus, if carbon steel is used, the material sticks to the welding table and causes pitting and scratches. An aluminium-copper table has high tensile strength and low surface hardness so that there is no possibility of scratches or pitting. It has high thermal conductivity to dissipate heat quickly and also prevent spatter from sticking to the welding table.

The rest of the story is that my Dad (turning 80 in two weeks) tore apart a wood cabinet while cleaning out his barn about three weeks ago and found a very substantial (~ 100 pounds) steel frame inside. He thought it would a great base for a welding table and gave it to me. The frame needs to be reconfigured quite a bit, but I took it thinking that this would be about 17 projects down the list as I'm still trying to finish the inside of the garage two years after construction. (The last thing I did in there was spread some drywall mud back in February. I'm hoping to sand it off by Christmas.) Two days later Dad calls up an old friend at a steel fabrication company and scoped out the table top. Countersinking screws into the top was his idea as he was a carpenter by trade. I'm going to blame you guys for shooting down his idea! He is all excited about this project and given his age and the fact that I haven't done any projects with him since last winter, I'm getting fired up too and am going to make this happen soon!! Wish us luck as it's been 35 years since I last welded and he never has!!
