if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water density
ANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float.There should be less density in the item than the water.

Is there any fluid dense enough to float a piece of iron or is it possible to make water dense enough to float the iron by adding salt to it?
-- The density of iron near room temperature is around 7.9 gm/cc, whereas at the same temperature, mercury is liquid with a density around 13.5 gm/cc. A lump of iron will float nicely in a bowl of mercury at room temperature. -- Don't forget that aircraft carriers and battleships are also pieces of iron, and that they float nicely in water.
