For Use at Low-temperature
When working with conveyor chains at low-temperature this kind of as inside a fridge or within a cold environment, the next disorders may possibly arise.
1) Low temperature brittleness
On the whole, a material is embrittled at low-temperature and shock resistance is lowered. This phenomenon is known as low-temperature brittleness, along with the degree of embrittlement differs from material to materials.
The service limit of the conveyor chain is dependent upon its specs.
2)Influence of freezing
At low-temperature, bending failure, roller rotation failure, repairing of chain, and so forth. might be induced by the freezing of penetrated water or deposited frost within the clearance between pins and bushings, bushings and rollers or inner plates and outer plates. These situations result in an overload to act to the chain and drive, diminishing the life 
of the chain.
To stop freezing, normally, it really is proposed to fill the clearances having a low-temperature lubricant appropriate to the services temperature to prevent water, frost, etc. from penetrating the respective portions with the chain. For lubrication, a silicon based mostly grease is proposed.
For Use at High-temperature
Chains power is diminished by high-temperature ambiance, direct conveying of high-temperature loads, or radiated heat, and so forth. The services restrict at high-temperature depends not around the temperature on the services natural environment however the temperature and materials with the chain body.
Following problems could occur when chains are applied at high-temperature:
one) High temperature brittleness and fracture by lowered hardness of heat treated materials
two) Brittleness caused by carbide precipitation
3) Abnormal dress in by scale
four) Fatigue fracture induced by repeated thermal shock (cooling and expansion)
five) Abnormal put on as a result of a rise while in the coefficient of friction
six) Creep fracture
seven) Fracture resulting from thermal fatigue of welded area
eight) Effects brought about by thermal growth
?Stiff links and rotation failure due to decreased clearance ?Fatigue fracture on account of lowered fitting force
9）Lubrication failure and stiff back links as a result of deterioration and carbonization of lubricating oil
Grease superb in heat resistance consist of these based upon silicon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
For use at high-temperature, high-temperature resistance bearings and stainless steel bearings are recommended.
