QUESTION
Need reasons for boiler flake formation: Pictures attached

Attached herewith are the Photos from Our Boiler Header, What can be the reason for flakes formation? Boiler commissioned 2 months back only 125 TPH @88 kgf/cm2 & 515 using phosphate treatment & oxygen scavenger. The Boiler was at site for nearly one year (Awaiting erection). The area is near sea shore. Could these have contributed to the rusting or is it because of improper storage?
