Are welders certified to a wps for .035 wire gmaw spray,automatically be certified to a wps for .045 wire ,if thier qualification test was done with .035 wire? D1.1 2006 has no requiremants under essential variables for welder performance (4.22) I know filler metal diameter for a wps is an essential variable requiring requalification, not sure how wire size affects welder quals.
any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks
