cavitated
Formed vapor bubbles
Cavitated describes something that has developed cavities or hollow spaces.
The term appears most often in medical and dental contexts: The X-ray showed a cavitated lung lesion.
A cavitated tooth has decay that has eaten through the enamel.
In engineering, cavitated surfaces show pitting from the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in liquid.
