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.
Is 'face' the same as 'surface' in this context?

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.

the surface from the front of the flange
The "face" is the surface of the flange that touches the other (adjoining) flange.
