What is that yellowish finishing that is usually given to a
steel-based chassis for electronic products ? I assume that it is
electroplated on for rust protection and solderability.
Specifically, what is the plating material ? Tin ?

It might be cadmium, but I don't really know for sure. I would suggest not
welding it nor eating off it.
