because below 291 k , white tin gets converted into grey

grey is brittle hence it crumbles down and gets corroded

Below 13.2 0C, tin exists as gray or alpha tin, which has a cubic crystal structure. Gray tin has no metallic properties at all, it is a dull-gray powdery material.
Metallic white tin will slowly convert to gray tin if it is held for a long time below 13.2 °C.
The metallic surface of white tin becomes covered with a gray powder which is easily rubbed off. The gray patches slowly expand until all of the tin in the object is converted from the metal to the powder, at which point it loses its structural integrity and may fall to pieces. This process is known as tin disease or tin pest.
