Answer:

Between 35°– 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the vertical position, Point the flame in the direction of travel. Keep the flame tip at the correct height above the base metal. An angle of 35°–45° should be maintained between the torch tip and the base metal. This angle may be varied up or down to heat or cool the weld pool if it is too narrow or too wide
