I was thinking, the chain Angainor was made by Aule and I don't think he would be able to make something that could contain Melkor's power. However, since Tulkas could overcome Melkor with physical strength, it is very easy to imagine that Tulkas could make a physical chain that could bind Melkor physically.

I agree and disagree with this. Aule couldn't contain Melkor's
power, but physical strength differs from this. I mean, Mandos wasn't the strongest or most powerful Vala, yet no one (in Ea) could escape from his halls, regardless of their innate strength or power.
Aule was the greatest smith in Arda, so out of all the Valar, he'd be best equipped to make a chain that could contain Morgoth
physically. Just because Tulkas can beat him with physical strength in a wrestling match, it doesn't mean that he can make an inanimate chain to contain his strength, which would rival Aule's. Welcome to the Downs, by the way
