Scoring
I would like to suggest 'Riefen' as the correct form of the typo 'Riffen'
And "scoring" certainly fits the context.
Scoring is a little more serious than scratches, usually making the part in question no longer usable.

German term (edited):
Riefen
scratches
That's most certainly either a type or it has been written by one of those fellas who spell "Haken" with "ck". ;-)
Not quite sure whether scratches will work, but this should get you going.

"Type" is a typo for "typo", obviously. Muphry's law at work ;-)
