Frank, I thought I had read of a scenario which seemed plausible
wherein a fusions crust, in the process of flaking off, in a chunk as
is known to happen, if I am not mistaken, separated partially, was
"blown" back, yet didn't fully separate before everything cooled off.
I would be interested to see a picture of slag in which the surface
has been modified by "mechanical" means similarly as to what is seen
in the object I've shared, sooner, or later, if it takes a while.

P.S. Graham, regarding your most recent post: You may have been
courteous, but you clearly weren't especially courteous, since you
failed to make the effort of explaining, in any depth, as if I may be
a person of some intelligence, how you reached your conclusion. That
would have been helpful. So it doesn't make a lot of sense to be
calling yourself courteous, from my perspective. Telling me to
research meteorwrongs, slag, and clinkers, does not explain what it is
I will see when I search for these words that will help me see the
light, although you claim to have noticed something specifically
leading you to that conclusion. You don't have to do this, but I
wouldn't claim to have contributed much, if I didn't. Also, you
definitely weren't "slagged off," considering I criticized a process
specifically, and not a person, or decision, generally.
