The higher the talc content the softer the soapstone, it is the material with this high (as high as 80%) that is perfect for the high temperature marking needed in welding and torch cutting applications. When you are welding or fitting up a weldment, you need to be able to make marks on the material, much in the same way a carpenter would use a pencil or chalk line. However, you cannot make very clear marks with a pencil on steel. In this case, it is better to use a piece of soapstone since it is more visible. Soapstone in welding is used in nearly every phase of fabrication. Of course, other methods (e.g., paint pen) can be used for some of these phases.
