Abstract
Apparatuses for restricting fluid flow through a well conduit comprise a tubular member, a seat, a plug element, and a seal interface element comprising a seal interface material. The seal interface material resists or retards corrosion by a corroding fluid of the portion of the sealing interface between the plug element and the seat. The seal interface material may be acid-resistant, hydrogen sulfide resistant, and/or the like depending on the type of corroding fluid that is present in the tubular member.
