Overview:
This webinar aims to provide practical insight into the risks and realities of dissimilar flange connections, with a focus on corrosion mechanisms, common misconceptions, and effective mitigation strategies to improve reliability and reduce long-term costs.
Dissimilar flange connections are widely used across industries, yet they remain a misunderstood source of corrosion risk, operational failure, and unexpected cost. This webinar explores why these connections exist, how they behave in real-world environments, and the critical factors that influence their performance.
Drawing on testing data and practical case insights, the session will explain the fundamentals of galvanic corrosion, highlight the dangers of localized corrosion, and challenge common assumptions around cladding and sealing methods. Attendees will also gain a clear understanding of available mitigation strategies, including coatings, bolting practices, and flange isolation kits and how to apply them effectively.
The webinar will conclude with a practical decision-making framework to help engineers and operators select the right approach based on risk, environment, and lifecycle cost considerations.Webinar will highlight:
