This article is about metals and alloys. For the music genre, see Christian metalThe white metals are any of several light-colored alloys used as a base for plated silverware, ornaments or novelties, as well as any of several lead-base or tin-base alloys used for things like bearings, jewellery, miniature figures, fusible plugs, some medals and metal type.Some of the metals that make up a white metal alloy are antimony, tin, lead, cadmium, bismuth, and  zinc. Not all of these metals are found in all white metal alloys but are mixed to achieve a desired goal or need. An example would be for jewelry. You would need it to be castable, polishable, have good flow characteristics, have the ability to cast fine detail without an excessive amount of porosity and cast at between 230 °C and 300 °C (450 °F and 575 °F).

Christian metal is a form of heavy metal music and its many subgenres with Christian lyrics and themes.Christian metal bands have existed since late 1970s, although the term ”Christian metal” itself was born in 1984, around the time when heavy metal music divided into numerous subgenres. At the same time some people in the metal scene began to refer to the Christian metal bands of the 1980s as ”white metal” – a pun for black metal, which was a rising movement back then. ”White metal” co-existed alongside with "Christian metal" until the early 1990s when the golden era of the scene ended and the movement went underground. After that, the English-speaking countries' (North America, Australia, United Kingdom etc.) and Middle and Northern European scenes adopted the "Christian metal" term, and "white metal" remained in use in South America and southwestern Europe. "White metal" is still used in the non-religious media as well, and many of those who prefer the ”Christian metal” definition see ”white metal” as a derogatory term since they think it has negative connotations to neo-Nazism (for example the slogan ”white power”).
