In accord with the second law of thermodynamics which states that heat spontaneously travels from a hotter object to a colder one, when metal touches something hot, the area where it touched something hot, will get warmer because of the increase in energy of the molecules, this warmth will spread throughout all the available metal until the metal and the hot substance it is touching have the same internal energy.
