It's possible to make cheese sauce without it, but most recipes call for at least some American cheese. According to Bon Appétit, this is due to the fact that it's highly meltable. At the point where other cheeses separate and turn grainy, American cheese remains creamy. The reason this happens, according to Cooks Illustrated, is that it contains sodium citrate. Sodium citrate is an emulsifying salt, and it works in American cheese by keeping the fat contained within its protein structure, per The Cheese Professor.
To make any cheese as melty as American cheese, therefore, all you need to do is add sodium citrate. Per Food & Wine, you simply shred the cheese you want to use, heat an equal amount of water, and whisk in the sodium citrate. A ratio of 1 cup of water to 1 teaspoon of sodium citrate works best, but you can easily customize it to your desired consistency, the publication states, noting that less water will yield a thicker cheese sauce.
Once the sodium citrate is dissolved, you can add the cheese, and when it fully melts down, you'll end up with the creamiest possible cheese sauce.
