Wagner produces a severe duty ceramic disc pad for some applications (suv, truck, and some cars). We have installed some on a few customer's vehicles...
No squeal, no dust... very pricey, though (over 100 bills for a front set, most applications)
...they are out there, not sure if Raybestos makes em, or Bendix
100% sure on the Wagner's though
NEVER heard of porcelain disc pads... (I never know!)
I have been on vacation for 6 months now and will be going back soon, to brush up on all that stuff (I need to)...
<edit>.... I have a Boker (knife) with a ceramic/porcelain blade. Maintains the edge much better than any metal (D2, M2, 440C, ATS34, 154CM, just to name a few). BUT, the obvious trade off is the material, which is VERY fragile (DO NOT DROP!!!) ....anyhow
