What would cause a hole to form in the top aluminium tank of a radiator of an earthmoving machine. The tank material is 6mm thick and is made from 1050 aluminium plate. The material around the hole has bubbles almost like pitting corrosion or like somebody went and took a flame to it. The rest of the tank is clean and smooth on the inside, no signs of corrosion at all. I know it's basically impossible to say for certain, but what could be possible causes?
The piece of plate was cut out of the tank and the attached picture shows the inside of the area where the hole formed. The black piece that is stuck to it is a type of glue that the guys used to do a field repair
of the tank until they could get it repaired properly.
The second picture shows the general condition of the tank on the inside.
