Sometimes if you open a flange and see this effect, then the process could cause a flange face corrosion that could lead to an incident.

technique has been developed by Mechanical Integrity, as a way to detect and measure different corrosion geometries of raised face flanges. A series of tests were performed to determine the accuracy of Phased Array ultrasonics in locating corroded areas and measuring the remaining sealing surface of raised face flanges. A blind test was performed on two flanges bolted together courtesy of Rick Jancleas of ExxonMobil. The results can be seen in below.
