Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.

Why can metal float?

For something to float, it must displace the same amount of water as it weighs. Answer:To float in water, a solid metal object must be lighter than the water equivalent to its volume. This would make lithium (at S.G. 0.53) the only metal that would float in water.Objects which are hollow and made of metal float because the contained volume of the object divided by the weight of the object is less than 1 gm/cm3, the density of water. Solid metal objects can float in liquids which have a density greater than they exhbit thesmelves. As an example, almost all metals will float in mercury
