How do I know what my arc length should be before I start welding? Electrode Length Electrode Type Electrode Diameter

## Step 1The arc length in welding is the distance between the electrode and the workpiece. This distance is crucial as it affects the quality of the weld.## Step 2The electrode length is the length of the electrode that will be consumed during the welding process. This is the length that you need to know before you start welding.## Step 3The electrode type and diameter are also important in welding, but they do not directly determine the arc length.
