Tin or titanium, eg (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metal

This clue is a double definition.

'tin' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'titanium eg' is the second definition.
(titanium is a kind of metal)

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Material detectable in the ground" , "Headbanger's music genre" , "Copper or silver, say" , "Zirconium, for example" , "Like steel cutlery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
