No.
How could it; you're melting even more(slightly more!) metal with the same power.

That's what I thought. but. the chart online suggests that you can weld thicker material with thicker wire. but perhaps that's machones that have the option of upping the power.

still learning

About the biggest welder you'll get on a domestic supply is 180A (e.g. the Clarke MIG196) which on paper will do 6mm steel..  Arc won't go any thicker necessarily.

Thicker than that and you'll need a three phase supply fitting Then again, what on earth are you planning on building, Webby? 

 

You wont be able to push that tool trolley your making out of rsj's
