Interrupt with "Copper and another metal" (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cut in

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'interrupt' is the definition.
(cutting in is a kind of interrupting)

'copper and another metal' is the wordplay.
'copper' becomes 'cu' (chemical symbol).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'another metal' becomes 'tin' (tin is a kind of metal. I am not sure about the 'another' bit.).
'cu'+'tin'='CUT-IN'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut in that I've seen before include "Interrupt; veer across another vehicle and take its space" , "Interrupt a conversation" , "drive dangerously" , "Interrupt someone speaking" , "interrupt speaker" .)
