No, freezing rain has no effect on metal itself. It may appear brittle because ice is obviously brittle. But you can smash the ice off and the metal will be fine.
Freezing rain occurs when the temputer ins below freezing
When it gets above freezing when it rains then it gets below freezing it causes freezing rain.

Freezing rain is composed of super-cooled waterwhich freezes on contact with any freezing surface, forming glaze ice.Ordinary rain has a temperature above freezing and will not instantly turn to ice.
Freezing rain is rain that falls as liquid water but freezes upon contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing temperatures. This creates a layer of ice, which can make roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces extremely slippery, leading to hazardous driving and walking conditions.
The phenomenon of rain freezing on contact with a cold object is called "freezing rain".
freezing rain
The term for rain that freezes when it hits the earth's surface is freezing rain.
Yes, it is possible for it to rain below freezing temperatures. This typically occurs when the air closer to the ground is above freezing, causing rain to form, but freezes upon contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. This phenomena is known as freezing rain.
Freezing rain can come from Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus clouds, but the clouds are not responsible for the freezing rain. If the precipitation falls from the clouds as snow it must pass through a warm layer of air to melt the snow flakes into rain drops. Then the raindrops must pass through a frigid layer of air that super-cools them. Finally, the rain instantly turns to ice if it lands on a surface that has a temperature below freezing. Then you know you have freezing rain. (see Related Link below for more detail on freezing rain.)
No, hail is freezing rain.
Freezing precipitation is called sleet or freezing rain.
