Assessment 1-1F: Lap Joint Shielded Metal Arc Welding 6010 Electrodes 4 of 5 What is used as a guide to measure how fast to go when making this weld? Top edge Bottom edge Instincts Temperature of the metal

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify what is used as a guide to measure the speed of welding when using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) 6010 electrodes. The options provided are the top edge, bottom edge, instincts, and the temperature of the metal.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />In welding, the speed of the welding process is typically guided by the edge of the electrode. This is because the electrode is the part of the welding rod that is in contact with the metal being welded.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The top edge of the electrode is the part that is in contact with the metal being welded. Therefore, it is the part that guides the speed of the welding process.
