When it comes to high-performance and technical industries, the demand for precision and durability is unparalleled. In today’s ever-evolving world, where advanced technology is constantly pushing boundaries, the need for materials that can withstand extreme conditions is more crucial than ever. This is where Advanced Ceramic Engineering (ACE) comes in.
ACE is a leading ceramic engineering company based in Northern Ireland, with over 40 years of experience in producing and designing precision and technical ceramics. Their expertise lies in transforming alumina, a high-grade and high-purity ceramic material, into advanced and engineered components. From vacuum and semi-conductor industries to aerospace and medical applications, ACE’s alumina components are trusted and used worldwide.
What sets ACE apart from other ceramic engineering companies is their ability to custom manufacture alumina components to meet specific requirements. They offer a wide range of alumina materials, developed to suit diverse service conditions needed by different industries. Whether it’s for chemical processing, pumps and valves, lasers, or wear applications, ACE has the expertise to create tailor-made solutions.
One might wonder, what makes alumina so special? Alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, is a versatile and highly desirable material due to its exceptional properties. It has high strength, excellent electrical insulation, and is resistant to corrosion and wear. Alumina’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -200°C to 1700°C, makes it ideal for use in many high-tech industries.
ACE’s team consists of experienced and skilled employees, most of whom are ex-employees of the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant in Craigavon, UK. With decades of experience in producing and designing precision ceramics, the team at ACE is well-equipped to tackle even the most complex projects. Their attention to detail and use of tried and tested methods, together with the latest innovations, ensures the production of high-quality and durable alumina components.
Since its formation in 2002, ACE has made a name for itself in the field of precision and technical ceramics. Their advanced production process, from raw milled alumina to isostatic pressing, ‘green’ machining, sintering, and diamond grinding, ensures that their components meet the highest standards of quality and precision. This combination of traditional methods and cutting-edge technology has made ACE a formidable force in the industry.
One of the many factors that set ACE apart is their commitment to sustainability. As alumina is a naturally occurring mineral, it is environmentally friendly and poses
