The braking systems in tractor-trailers consist primarily of an air brake system and a brake drum. The drum uses the friction of the linings that meet the drum to reduce speed and bring the vehicle to a stop. These linings reach temperatures as high as 600 degrees when the system is operating properly. When it is not operating properly, the temperatures can reach as high as 1,000 degrees and lead to failure.
