In today’s fast-paced world, products and technologies are constantly evolving and pushing boundaries. With this in mind, industries such as electronics, aerospace, chemical processing, and medical are in need of materials that can withstand the demanding conditions of their respective fields. This is where the role of advanced ceramic engineering comes into play. In particular, alumina ceramics are highly sought after for their strength and durability, making them the ideal choice for applications that require high performance and reliability.
At Advanced Ceramic Engineering Ltd (ACE), we specialize in producing and designing precision and technical ceramics, including high grade and purity alumina components. With over 40 years of experience, our company has established itself as a leader in the field of advanced ceramics in Northern Ireland, UK. Our wide range of alumina materials has been developed to meet the diverse needs of various industries, including vacuum and semi-conductor, pump and valve, lasers and medical, and chemical and wear applications.
But what sets alumina ceramics apart from other materials? The answer lies in its superior properties, specifically its high strength and resistance to wear and tear. Alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, is an extremely hard and durable material, making it highly suitable for applications that require resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals. This strength and durability make it a top choice for industrial components that are constantly exposed to harsh environments.
Our alumina ceramics are often referred to as ‘precision ceramics’, technical ceramics, high-tec ceramics, advanced ceramics or engineered ceramics. This is because we strive to produce components that meet the highest standards of precision and quality. Our processes, from raw material milling to isostatic pressing, green machining, sintering, and diamond grinding, are all carefully controlled to ensure the utmost accuracy and consistency in our products.
What sets ACE apart from other ceramic engineering companies is our team of skilled employees. Most of our team members are ex-Seagoe employees, with decades of experience in the production and design of precision and technical ceramics. This means that our company carries forward the expertise and knowledge gained from the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant in Craigavon, Northern Ireland. Furthermore, our company constantly invests in the latest innovations and techniques, making us a modern and cutting-edge player in the field of advanced ceramic engineering.
One of the biggest challenges facing industries today is the wear and tear of components due to regular use and exposure to harsh environments. This can lead to downtime, increased costs, and decreased
