    Hi Renate, My best guess is water.  Your ingot has been wet or moist
    on the inside. When I was an apprentice in the early sixties, my
    master taught me to run few drops of oil on the inside of the ingot,
    and then wipe it thoroughly clean each time before filling it with
    molten metal. Yours, Jon Holm Bornholm, Denmark
