| Material Failure Analysis |
| |
| Failure analysis studies provide information to prevent recurrence of costly problems by systematic examination of failed devices. Detailed metallurgical analysis enables the ship operator to make insurance claims and to educate ship staff regarding defective operation of the machinery. Common components that fail include: Bearings, exhaust valves, piston rings, liners, etc. These fail due to defective machinery design, imperfections during metallurgical operations (such as casting, forging, welding, etc.) or during heat treatment operations, overloading of equipment, among other reasons. |

| ViswaLab is recognized by insurance companies and P&I clubs as an authority in problem solving and determining the cause of machinery failure. It has a huge database of such failures. Major shipping companies who use fuel testing services of competitors still send all their problem cases to Viswa Lab for detailed investigation. Viswa Lab, like a true partner, holds the hands of its customers and walks them through these problems. Viswa Lab has helped customers, Insurance Companies, and P&I clubs in identifying the root cause of failure through Failure Analysis Studies. |
