Default ON TOPIC: Welded joints are usually stronger than the surrounding material?

Is that typically true? For example... A typical bike fork weld, where
the two curved fork pieces meet the head tube. If immense pressure were
put on one of the forks, would the fork tube bend before the weld breaks
apart? That is speaking generally, typically.

Thanks.
