The engineering phenomenon related to cold climate service of materials is known as Nil Deformation Transition Temperature, which is the transition of material from ductile to brittle. Steels and other materials used in the production of Demco Side Dumps may experience brittleness at arctic temperatures. Since Demco cannot control the forces applied to side dumps or components of side dumps in arctic climates, claims resulting from brittle fractures or failures will not be warranted and Demco will not be held liable for the results of such failures.
