The simple answer is not very well, "metal" shields were actually still mostly wood, but the key differences are that the edges are protected my metal rims, and a metal boss (lump in the middle) is used to improve bashing in close contact.

The front of a shield is quite difficult to hack into when you consider that properly trained swordsmen would use it to deflect, rather than just block. The real weakness of a wooden shield was any time the opponent's weapon caught an edge, because splitting would (wood?) occur at that moment.
