Decay may not be quite the right word. Metal cans do... eventually... corrode and break down. The length of time required depends on the metal the can is made of; steel cans can corrode fairly quickly while it takes longer for aluminum ones.

Cans made of aluminum or steel do not decay in the same way that organic materials do. However, aluminum cans can corrode over time when exposed to certain conditions such as moisture, leading to the breakdown of the material. Proper recycling and disposal of cans can prevent any potential environmental impact.
