There are nearly limitless types and variations on ceramic coatings these days, but most serve as good insulators, hence their use on exhaust and other similar applications where excessive heat transfer is not desired.

Here is an article on ceramic coating with rotors from swaintech..

There is a few patents on it, but one references wear resistance.
