In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, there is an ever-increasing demand for materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, and high levels of wear and tear. It is in these environments that alumina ceramics shine, providing the strength, durability, and performance needed for numerous high-tech industries.
At Advanced Ceramic Engineering (ACE) in Northern Ireland, our team of experts has over 40 years of experience in the production and design of precision and technical ceramics, with a particular focus on alumina components. Our company, formed in 2002 after the closure of the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant, boasts a highly experienced workforce, most of whom are ex-Seagoe employees with decades of knowledge in this field.
Alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. Its exceptional mechanical and electrical properties make it a top choice for use in numerous high-tech industries, including electronics, aerospace, chemical processing, vacuum and semi-conductor, pump and valve, lasers and medical, and various wear applications.
One of the key reasons alumina ceramics are so popular in these industries is their high-grade and purity. At ACE, we specialize in producing alumina bodies with the utmost precision, ensuring they meet the strict standards required by our clients. These ceramics are often referred to as ‘precision ceramics,’ ‘technical ceramics,’ or ‘advanced ceramics,’ highlighting their importance and value in demanding industries.
Our range of alumina materials has been developed to meet diverse service conditions, reflecting the ever-changing needs of high-tech industries. From extreme temperatures and corrosive environments to high levels of wear and tear, alumina ceramics stand strong, providing exceptional performance, reliability, and longevity.
