That explains a number of things I know about coatings, but doesn't explain
this. The material is thick enough not to allow smearing, especially when
it's being cut by a saw.

This stuff corrodes (doesn't) like stainless, but welds and cuts like
ordinary structural steel! It's not a problem... but an opportunity to
learn something new. FWIW, even the saw-cuttings don't rust!
