Qualification question

I qualified my weld group using .045 hard wire using AWS D 1.1 standards. Can I go down a wire size and still be OK. GMAW
Reply:I think it depends on what code you're working to. In the 1970s I had to retest every 3-months. Had to retest in all processes. Had to run at least one pass on the test plate with all the different size wires we were going to use.Don’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400
