cewrx7r1 is on a distinguished road
First off, do we really know what the housing surface is coated/treated with?
Most AL used for similar applications in the past was high silicone AL.
The surface was then chemically etched to leave the silicone which is harder than steel.

Hopefully, the new 16X will have a more advanced surface treatment.
