If you used MAX auto brakes on a A330 with a fairly heavy load the brakes will get so hot the thermal fuses in the wheels go.

The aircraft that I saw this happen on did NOT have inbuilt cooling fans but I am informed that if the brake temp goes thru 470 Deg cooling fans or not you are up for wheel changes....
