Welcome to Advanced Ceramic Engineering, your go-to company for precision and technical ceramics in Northern Ireland. With over 40 years of experience in the production and design of advanced ceramics, we take pride in offering high-grade alumina components to various industries across the UK.
At ACE, we specialize in alumina bodies for high-grade and purity alumina ceramics. These specialized ceramics, often referred to as precision ceramics, technical ceramics, high-tech ceramics, advanced ceramics, or engineered ceramics, are essential in many high-tech industries. Our range of alumina materials has been carefully developed to meet the diverse service conditions required by the electronics, aerospace, chemical processing, vacuum and semi-conductor, pump and valve, laser and medical, and chemical and wear applications.
As a company, we understand the critical role that alumina plays in pump and valve applications. That is why we have dedicated our efforts to manufacturing and customizing alumina components for these industries. Alumina, or aluminum oxide, is a versatile ceramic material that offers excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. These characteristics make it suitable for use in pump and valve applications where reliability and durability are crucial.
One of the biggest challenges in pump and valve applications is dealing with high levels of corrosion, erosion, and wear. This is where alumina shines. With its high chemical resistivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion, alumina is able to withstand harsh environments without succumbing to corrosion or wear. It also has excellent hardness and strength, making it ideal for use in components like valve seats, plungers, and pump bodies.
At ACE, we understand that each pump and valve application is unique and requires specific components that can withstand the service conditions. That is why we offer custom manufacturing services, where we work closely with our clients to design and produce alumina components that meet their exact requirements. Our skilled workforce, many of whom are ex-Seagoe employees with over 40 years of experience, combined with tried and trusted production methods, ensure that we deliver high-quality components that meet the highest industry standards.
Our manufacturing process starts with raw milled alumina, which is then isostatically pressed into the desired shape. From there, we use green machining, sintering, and diamond grinding to fine-tune the components to their final dimensions. This process ensures that we achieve the desired level of precision and quality in our alumina components.
