breakthrough technology
from roughness to toughness
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.
