The beam's strength will usually be determined by the web. It is the area at the center or height of the beam. Therefore, H beams will be stronger as they are thicker than H beams. However, I beams have greater flange resistence than H beams.

FRANKLIN MODEL PTW72 - A complete Automatic submerged twin arc welding system. It is capable of fixing and welding three-piece built up beams, consisting of a Web and two flanges. The PTW-72's web capacity is 72 inches. Flange capacities are 20" wide x 1/4" thick. A PTW72 complete fabricating cell can measure up to 300 ft. The system includes a web loading gantry as well as a web seam station and a tack unit unit.
Each conveyor section can hold approximately 4,000 pounds. To minimize wear caused by friction between turning rollers and slower-moving beams at the welder exit, conveyor speeds must be synchronized.
The welding arm is the most crucial part of welding work. It can move horizontally on cross beam with the tool carriage and can also move up or down on the directional wheel. It is located under the welding beam and has the function to automatically track seams.
An H beam's thicker flanges can support heavier weights than normal. Additional to this, the flanges in I beams have inclination. This is what helped it be labeled an "I" beam. H beams however have flattened out and leveled horizontal flanges.
A welded beam consists of three individual sections of steel – a web, a top flange and a bottom flange. These segments are merged together with deep fillet welds to create an incredibly robust building material.
