This is because the deposits heated un-equally over time, to much higher temperatures than the surrounding rotor, leading to the conversion of that part/spot on the rotor surface to cementite, a harder material, which will require physical removal or the problem will simply re-present soon as it will not wear with the rest of the rotor face.
