Sort of. There is a phenomenon known as "tin pest" where, at temperatures below 13 Celsius, tin changes from the usual crystalline structure, beta tin, to an alternate structure, alpha tin, which manifests as a grey powder. Once it starts there's no cure but to keep the tin object above 13 Celsius. See http://www.corrosion-club.com/tinplague.htm
