Yes- but the sheet metal should be placed on spacers to hold it clear of the wall, and permit air to circulate behind it. Installed in this way it can help shield walls from the heat. If simply attached directly to a combustible wall with no air space, it will still transmit heat to the wall. Below is a link to information on using sheet metal to shield a wall from heat of a wood stove-

When installing a wood burner what can be put on the wall behind it other than brick that would be fire safe?
Radiation heating is what you have to watch out for. To protect the wall behind the stove, mount a piece of sheet metal on 2 inch high stand offs on the wall. The air space behind the sheet metal will allow the heat the sheet metal receives to be dissipated by air flow, keeping the wall at safe temperatures. The bottom of the sheet metal should be at least 2 inches above the floor, and the sheet metal should extend at least 1 foot above the top of the stove. The stand offs should be made of sheet metal, bent in a z shape, and should not obstruct air flow behind the sheet metal shield. A sheet metal shop can bend the stand offs for you.
