7. Braking energy
7.1 Temperature
Remember that the braking action transforms mechanical energy into heat energy, causing the parts involved to heat up. Excessive heating can lead to :
a deterioration in the performance of friction materials, particularly in terms of the coefficient of friction (article Brake technology. Friction components: linings and counter materials of this treaty);
a rise in brake fluid temperature leading to vapor lock 7.3.3 ...
