The better-known ones are:
Aluminium
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Gold
Iron
Lead
Magnesium
Manganese
Mercury
Nickel
Platinum
Silver
Tin
Titanium
Tungsten
Zinc
A (nearly) full list of the chemical elements is given in Tom Lehrer's 150 mph patter song The Elements, which he sang to a Harvard audience in 1959, to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I am The Very Model of a Modern Major-General". Only elements discovered or named since 1959 are omitted.
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium.
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Ha'vard,
And there may be many others, but they haven't been discavard.
NB whilst chemistry has one definition of a metal, astronomy has another: the whole periodic table but for hydrogen and helium.

If its different 'types' of metals you're looking for, here are a few:
-Base metals : a metal that oxidizes easily and reacts with HCL to form hydrogen. ex. iron, zinc, nickel
-Alloys : An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in solid solution in which the major component is a metal. Ex. brass ( copper+zinc ), steel ( iron +carbon )
-Noble metals : metals that are resistant to corrosion. Ex. Rhodium, platinum
-Precious metals : rare metals of high economic value. Ex. Gold, silver, platinum.

Metals are found in the Earth's crust and have been mined extensively for many years. Of the 70 different types of metal a select few are used for the majority of applications. Metals very rarely occur in their pure metallic state in the ground (the only exceptions are gold, silver and copper). Other metals are found as minerals, for example:
carbonates such as calcium carbonate (limestone)
halides such as sodium chloride (common table salt)
oxides such as aluminium oxide (bauxite)
sulphates such as calcium sulphate (gypsum)
The metals used for everyday objects have usually been subjected to a number of different processing techniques such as heating, coating with non-metallic substances, alloying with other metals and reacting with chemicals. The type of metal selected for use in an application depends on its physical and chemical properties.
It is the sheer diversity of these properties that has made metals the cornerstone of engineering and technological developments. There are few other readily available substances that can be stretched into thin wires (ductile) or flattened into thin sheets without breaking (malleable). Metals can conduct heat and hold a magnetic charge, absorb shock and be incredibly strong. Some metals are dense and heavy while others are very light.
Metals are generally classed as either ferrous or non-ferrous depending on whether they contain iron or not.
Ferrous metals include:
iron
steel.
Non-ferrous metals include:
aluminium
copper
lead
mercury
nickel
tin
zinc.
Ferrous metals are the ones most widely used and have a lower value per weight than non-ferrous metals, although the latter are used in smaller quantities. The metals industry is typically split into ferrous and non-ferrous sub-industries so the quantities of metals being produced and reclaimed are large enough to make it economical to specialise in one type.
A third sector to the metals industry deals exclusively with metals recovered from old or written-off motor vehicles, known as end of life vehicles (ELVs). For further information, see Types of Waste A-Z Listing: Batteries, Types of Waste A-Z Listing: End of Life Vehicles, Types of Waste A-Z Listing: Mining and Quarrying, Types of Waste A-Z Listing: Packaging and Types of Waste A-Z Listing: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
