How thick can you weld with 80 amps?
For MIG welding mild steel, a good rule of thumb is to adjust the welder amperage level using one amp for every thousandth of an inch of thickness. That would mean that 75 to 80 amps would be a good setting to start out on for mild steel that is 2mm in thickness.

What kind of rods do I use for a welder?
Because this is a relatively small welder, I use it with 2.5 mm rods, which as you’d expect will happily blow a hole in a 1 mm tube wall at higher currents. This is why you’d normally use MIG on a task such as this, and indeed at 80 A I was rewarded with something closer to cutting than welding.
