That depends on what kind of support is underneath the sheet metal, and you will still need to install tile backerboard or cement board on top of the sheet. Generally, you'll need sturdy support to hold the weight of tile and backerboard so the tile won't move (at all). Any movement causes grout to crack and tiles to pop loose. Recommended support is at least 3/4" thickness of subfloor supported by joists no more than 16" on centers. If the span between joists is greater, then you'll need a thicker subfloor support. Then install cement board or backer on top of your galvanized sheet, with mortar troweled under the backerboard to support any gaps, and screwed into the subfloor. Then install tile to the backerboard.
