Je pense qu'il s'agit de corrosion de chaudières tubes, écran, fond de chambre, à recharger, foyer... Tout va dans ce sens.

"Corrosion côté eau Selon leur origine elles se manifestent par des attaques profondes et irrégulières du métal (chancres) ou des attaques ponctuelles plus ou moins dispersées (piqûres). Ces dernières sont localisées en général dans les parties inférieures du corps inférieurs des générateurs. Il est rare qu’elles soient profondes. Elles peuvent toutefois nécessiter un apport de métal par soudure. Les premières sont plus dangereuses et entraînent dans certains cas le percement de la paroi."

Sorry, a canker is actually a depression but it would still fit the description.
