also known as tin pest
An environmental degradation mechanism involving tin, resulting from exposure to low temperatures, is referred to as tin plague. It is also known as "tin disease" or "tin pest". When tin is cooled to temperatures below 13°C, a (gradual) phase change occurs from white tin (tetragonal) to gray tin (cubic). This phase change has been associated with disintegration of tin into a powdery form. When first noted on organ pipes in Europe, it was reportedly initially attributed to the devil's work.
