That deposit is probably aluminum corrosion product. If grease has been used, the grease can become part of the hard deposit as well.
Used a steel wire brush?
I have toyed with the idea of a stainless steel shim that has holes for the hub and wheel bolts. This would separate the steel and aluminum that are very reactive together. These would be laser burnt from thin stainless. No one showed any interest when I asked a few years ago.
I also want to seal the wheel caps to keep water out. Something that seals well but still allow the cap to be removed, sealant picked off and then can be resealed.
And power washers to inject a lot of water past these caps. The wheel design holds this water and it cannot get out. Greasing the hub then also retains trapped water. The steel center caps on the hub can get very rusty. On my winter wheels, I drilled 5 holes per wheel from the pockets in the hub face to the larger ID of the hub bore that traps water. Bonded in lengths of 5/32" aluminum tubing that project 1/2 through the pockets to create drainage and water traps for water than might then get trapped in the pockets (that does not get centrifically expelled along the hub contact face.
