Abstract
A system, and associated method, for reducing oxidation of a friction disk may include a braking assembly comprising the friction disk and a conduit coupled to the braking assembly, with the conduit being in selectable fluid providing communication with the braking assembly. That is, the conduit may be configured to deliver inert fluid to the braking assembly, thus reducing the concentration of oxygen in the vicinity of the friction disks and thus reducing/mitigating oxidation of the friction disks.
