"RÉSUMÉLes revêtements céramiques ont une moins grande visibilité que les revêtements métallurgiques. Ils ont cependant jour un role significatif dans noire développement technologique. Les procédés de revêtement ont permis de s'affranchir de barrières technologiques importantes dans le domaine de l'optique, de l'électronique, de l'usure, des hautes temperatures. L'introduction de nouvelles technologies ou la mise en service de nouveaux matériaux peut nécessiter l'adaptation de certain procédés actuels ou le recours a des procédés qui ont peu percé jusqu’ à maintenant.ABSTRACTApplications concerned with ceramic coatings are not as well known as those with metallic coatings. However, ceramic coatings have played a tremendous role in the development of technology. Ceramic coating processes made it possible to overcome technological barriers in the areas of optics, electronics, wear resistance and high temperature applications. Ceramic coatings can provide new properties to materials never considered for demanding applications. They can also open new frontiers and revitalize materials which are maturing or in decline."
