No. The solid state of a metal is more dense than its liquid state, so it sinks.

No, solid metal typically sinks in molten metal due to its higher density. When a solid metal is placed on top of molten metal, it will usually sink until it reaches a point where its density is equal to that of the molten metal around it.
