[MW:24312] Wire size 1.6mm

Dear Expert,

 

Greetings of the day.

 

I have a doubt on welding high strength material YP690, jack-up rig.

Currently we are using E111T1-GM H4, 80%Ar - 20%CO2, 1.2mm wire size.

 

Recently client is insisting on changing to 1.6mm wire size for higher productivity & efficiency.

However in my opinion, using 1.6mm requires usage of higher welding current 350A & above,

And not all welders are able to handle such high ampere & speed, this might cause some defects.

 

In addition, my concern is high heat input & cooling rate.

I have explained all this details to client, but client don't accept.
