most likely from poor welding or treatment of the material being welded

Yea if the welds are done by a gas welder and they are shielded like with a tig or mig, Then the weld isnt as pure, Would rust easier, also it happens man, its metal... But try and keep the welds flush with the area ur welding for best results.
