2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes. Loss of stopping power, or fade, can be caused by friction fade, mechanical fade, or fluid fade.

3. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   Since the lining is the portion of the braking system which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, the lining must be capable of surviving high temperatures without excessive wear (leading to frequent replacement) or outgassing (which causes brake fade, a decrease in the stopping power of the brake).

   The material's ability to resist brake fade, caused by an increase in temperature the material will experience from the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. [5] [6] The effects of moisture on brake fade. All brakes are designed to withstand at least temporary exposure to water. [5] [6]

9. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   "Brake fade" is a condition caused by overheating in which braking effectiveness reduces, and may be lost. It may occur for many reasons. It may occur for many reasons. The pads which engage the rotating part may become overheated and "glaze over", becoming so smooth and hard that they cannot grip sufficiently to slow the vehicle.
