What type of material is this?

But if you are really curious about it and wanna go deeper you can try a scientific approach: a) You could probably assume it is a metal, although there are way too many engineered/composite materials … Use known materials and see which ones it can scratch and which ones can scratch it. c) Check whether it is a magnetic material, there is also a spark test for metals, look it up But even with this approach …
