Maybe others have more insight on this...

That said, the more traditional way of identifying alloys in inventory is color coding with blotches of spray paint applied to bar ends or sheet edges.

Our welding procedure specifically prohibit the use of markers unless they are specifically marked as low chloride and/or low sufphur.
I copied my reply to thread794-264571: low chloride markers and stainless
The use of chalk as posted above carries some caveats in that some of the lumber marking chalks have very high chlorides and some high sulphur. There is a metal marking chalk or you might want to go the old fashion way and use soapstone.
Here are some Low Chloride Markers as well as some Low Sulphur ones for Nickel Alloys. A lot of the Low Chloride markers are also Low Sulphur.

Take one, crush it, open it, and put it into a beaker of DI water. Heat in a microwave for a while and then let it cool. Do a Cl analysis on the water.
