  • madalamatel temperatuuridel toimuv metallilise valge tina üleminek pulbriliseks halliks tinaks
  • the crumbling of pure tin that occurs at low temperatures as the ordinary white allotrope changes to grey tin
tinakatk
Usage examples
  • Hõbevalge läikega metalliline β-tina muutub madalal temperatuuril halliks pulbriliseks α-tinaks. Tina faasisiire valgest tinast halliks on autokatalüütiline (kord juba alanud üleminek areneb üha kiirenevalt) ja on võimeline teisi esemeid „nakatama”. Sellepärast nimetatakse nähtust tinakatkuks.
tin pest
Usage examples
  • Tin exists in two different forms, or allotropes: the familiar form, white (or beta) tin, and gray (or alpha) tin, which is powdery and of little use. The gray form changes to the white above 13.2 °C (55.8 °F), rapidly at temperatures above 100 °C (212 °F); the reverse transformation, called tin pest, occurs at low temperatures and seriously hampers the use of the metal in very cold regions.
