It is the painted on finish being either worn off or chipped off. In the case of cleaning solvents getting between the frame and paint, I guess you might be able to call it corrosion (chemical reaction?).
It's easier for the factory to replace the frame than to repaint it. I also suspect they are concerned about repeatedly removing and replacing the barrel on an aluminium frame leading to a cracked frame.
