With allotropy unknown, the phenomenon was attributed to the work of the Devil and was variously denoted by the terms tin disease, tin pest, tin blight, or tin plague. The reaction is autocatalytic; in other words, the presence of the gray alpha-tin accelerates the process.

Tin Pest or Tin Disease ... We are looking for detailed information regarding a phenomenon called "tin pest", or "tin disease". This occurs mainly at specific temperature ranges when the pure tin plating spontaneously transforms from one crystalline form to another and flakes off.

Sometimes extreme physical changes result in permanent changes in tin pest. What causes this physical change? ... Pure tin can exist in two allotropic forms white tin (beta) and grey tin (alpha), low temperatures can result in re-crystallisation of the white from to the grey from, in practice for the change into the grey...

Tin pest (or 'tin plague', 'tin disease', 'tin leprosy') is an annoying process that affects things made out of tin, such as organ pipes. ... Tin pest would be of minor importance were it not for the fact that church organ pipes were often made of metallic tin, which is a ductile material with a comparatively low...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is looking for partners to study ‘tin pest’ that could make some Pb-free solder turn to dust at low temperature ... "NPL has been studying the allotropic phase transformation in tin and its alloys, commonly known as tin pest, to measure the implications of adopting lead-free...

In Instance 12:35, Jessica Johnson asks about Tin Pest. At room and higher temperatures the most stable modification is white tin--a malleable metal. At a temperature below 13 degrees C the crystalline lattice of tin becomes rearranged, so that more space is left between its atoms.
