"no, you can only freeze and thaw glass"
Whoever wrote this answer is either trolling (for the e-naive, basically writing joke answers [that you don't actually believe or don't actually hold that opinion] to try and fool people or get a rise out of them for your own amusement) or just a total idiot.
You can freeze metal. In fact just about every metal you come in contact with day-to-day, with the exception being if you have an old Mercury thermometer (the "mercury" in most modern-day thermometers is not mercury at all), are already frozen.
You see, a frozen substance is actually defined as being below it's melting point; in other words, solid. So with a few very strange and esoteric exceptions, anything solid is frozen. This includes the metal in your car, your kitchen utensils and pots/pans, your metal computer case, your lawnmower engine, your soda and beer cans, etc. you get the idea; the list goes on and on.
When you melt something frozen, that means you turn it into a liquid, right? So if you can melt metal, that must means it starts of...you guessed...FROZEN!
You can freeze metal. You simply don't need to because it's almost always frozen. We just don't think of it as 'frozen' because the word 'frozen' is an adjective derived form the verb freeze, and to freeze something it is generally understood to be a liquid. Since metal is not usually a liquid, we don't refer to it as frozen, being in its natural state. You refer to ice as frozen because usually it is in the form of liquid: water, and so being "frozen" it usually means it WAS liquid and then became a solid. This part is just semantics.
So the answer is an enthusiastic "YES!", you CAN freeze metal.
What else can I help you with?
Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?
Pure water freeze faster.
Will jello gel faster if you freeze it?
Not if you freeze it. The water in it will simply freeze into globules which will eventually stick together.
What liquid will freeze the fastest oil or water why?
Water will freeze faster than oil.
How do cold air and hot water make the water freeze faster?
Cold air and hot water makes water freeze faster simply because the hot water is steaming and so the result is that there is less water to freeze. hot water = steam = less water less water = faster freeze cold air = faster freeze
Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?
Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
Will water freeze faster in a plastic cup or a metal cup?
Water in a metal cup will freeze faster because metal conducts coldness and energy the most. trust me, I did a project with a metal, plastic, glass, and paper to see which cup would freeze the quickest. Hopefully this answer helped.
Does cream freeze faster than milk?
No milk freeze faster
Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?
Pure water freeze faster.
Does water freeze faster in plastic or metal?
Water freezes faster in metal compared to plastic due to the higher thermal conductivity of metal. This means that heat is transferred more efficiently from the water to the metal, allowing it to cool down more rapidly. In contrast, plastic has lower thermal conductivity, leading to slower heat transfer and a longer freezing time for the water.
What if Sprite freeze faster than regular water?
I suppose that pure water freeze faster.
What freeze faster salt or water?
Water will freeze faster than salt water.
do solids freeze faster than liquids?
yes solids freeze faster than liquids
Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?
no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.
How can you make water freeze faster?
to make water freeze faster you put it some place that's colder.
