I was unclear; How would you be able to put a piece of metal into a very high temperature pre-heated oven for a short period of time and have the metals' temperature change minimal amounts.

It's due to the heat transfer rate. It takes more time to heat a chunk of metal, because metals form into a strong crystal matrix. When carbon does this then it forms diamonds or carbon nanotubes, which are incredibly strong.
A crystal structure is very stable so it is hard to change. Metals conduct heat at various levels, but with all of them it takes a while to heat the sample uniformly.

Also read on metalic bonding, a reason for much of the behavior of metals.
Its a short read, that explains alot:
