Résumé

Bolted flanged joints play a crucial role in connecting pressure vessels and piping systems. The corrosion of the flange surface is one of the most common causes of leakage failure in bolted flanged joints. This research investigates the effect of three gasket materials on the corrosion behavior of 321 stainless steel flange material using a novel setup specially designed for corrosion quantification of such assemblies. The results show that graphite gaskets cause more corrosion to flange surfaces under the same working conditions compared to graphite gaskets with metal foil inserts and virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gaskets. The mechanism of flange face corrosion is that, for PTFE gaskets, corrosion propagation mainly occurs at the gasket inner diameter and propagates through the depth of the flange while, for graphite gaskets, corrosion occurs on the whole contact surface of the flange and the gasket.
