Question:

lifting a machine with two crane and a beam?

The machine weight is 17500 KgEach crane capacity is 12500 KgThe lenght of beam is 4.5m and square cross section areaMaterial of beam is ASTM A 615 Gr60Machin connect to beam in 3 pointWhat is the beam cross section area dimension?

Answer:

You left out crucial information and working it out with risky assumptions takes too much work. Whatever this was supposed to mean Machin connect to beam in 3 point What is missing is whether the cranes connect to the end and the entire weight of the machine is in the middle - or is the machine attached at 3 distributed points. In addition, there has to be some condition - looking at the ASTM spec will give strength, but you have specified whether the beam is to be just at failure or 50% safety factor, etc.
