Corrosion/calcification of ladders, boilers, and brains

Q. I came across a photograph showing heavy calcification on an iron ladder over a long period.

Is this something similar to what happens in boilers, on heating coils etc ? Doctors also talk of calcification in the human brain. What is the similarity if any? I am just curious.
