abstract = "To restrain the failure of plate heat exchanger (PHE) in customer boiler working fluid, the effect of crevice former type on the corrosion behavior of Type 316L (UNS S31603) stainless steel plate was investigated using electrochemical methods and surface analysis in chloride-containing synthetic tap water. Although the localized corrosion under metal-metal crevice condition was initiated easier than that under metal-gasket crevice specimen due to the restricted mass transport at the crevice mouth, the anodic current under metal-metal crevice condition was lower than that under metal-gasket crevice condition at a higher anodic potential. Narrow crevice gap which was formed under gasket accelerated the anodic dissolution at the mouth of crevice, and then caused the perforation of PHE in the field condition. Moreover, due to the small corroded area at the initiation stage, the anodic dissolution depth of metal-gasket crevice specimen was deeper than that of metal-metal crevice specimen.",
