Case Studies & Resources

When GE needed a battery material that didn't exist yet, we developed a fully dense spinel formulation alongside their own engineering team.

Three major automakers turned to Associated Ceramics to develop an electronic, ceramic package to address an overheating, fire-hazard issue in front-wheel-drive vehicles.

When hoverboard fires made headlines, a leading electronics company came to us to develop a higher-resistance, higher-thermal-conductivity component — engineered and distributed worldwide within 1–3 months

High-strength, high-hardness Al₂O₃ ceramic with strong thermal conductivity and resistance to chemical and corrosion attack at elevated temperatures.

Magnesium aluminum silicate with very low thermal expansion — used where thermal shock resistance is critical, including heaters and thermocouples.

• AC-C105
• AC-C200
• AC-C201

Magnesium aluminate — the most common member of the spinel family, and the material we developed for GE's Durathon™ battery program.

Low-cost, low-loss magnesium silicate insulator rated safely to 2,200°F — common in high-frequency insulation and resistor cores.

• AC-ST300
• AC-ST500

Calcium magnesium silicate formulated with 20–40% porosity to balance strength against thermal shock — most often used for kiln furniture.

• AC-WO600
• AC-WO610

Advanced ZrO₂ ceramic with superior mechanical properties, including high strength and flexibility.
