TORTOISE

breakthrough technology

from roughness to toughness

Revolution in material science

Tortoise technology generates quantitative and local properties of any material from a simple analysis of a 1mm3 sample. It paves the way to cheaper material characterization and novel tools for predictive maintenance

Novel Method for Material
Characterization

Mechanical characterization of materials
today requires sophisticated tests and large samples. Tortoise’s technology easily extracts mechanical properties from a small broken sample of any material

Reliable Tools for Predictive
Maintenance

Diagnostic for the quantitative estimation of residual life time of equipments and infrastructure in operation.

Quantitative Technology for Failure
Analysis

Local and quantitative values for toughness, crack propagation speed and direction are obtained from non-destructive analysis.
We help our customers in identifying root causes of failure and in resizing components
through the calculation of load at failure.
