Pot metal is an old and meaningless term used to describe any metallic amalgam that can be heated in a "pot" (a foundry term that describes a heated vessel used to melt metal) and is then usually die cast. The amalgam varies with each foundry but might be based on zinc and tin. Pot metal is also called "white metal".
