Rationale: 200 °C exposure for 10 hours could reduce the fatigue life for some aluminum alloys, which is the intent of this test section. Since 200 °C is above the wet boiling point of brake fluids it is unlikely the complete housing will see temperatures this high but the areas of housings in close proximity to the rotor could experience such temperatures. Applying this baking process to the entire housing is a practical method and could be considered slightly conservative.
