The metal will get extremely hot, and so you can imagine all the problems that can cause. So for normal domestic uses it's not recommended.
On the other hand, for people who want to melt metal, it is possible to use a microwave as a micro-foundry.
The microwave most assuredly is electrically protected from overheating, although if you set fire to something, you're on your own.

The metal being electrically conducting will provide a secondary circuit of very low resistance and thus will cause the magnetron circuit to overheat. The metal too may overheat and damage the oven.

The frequency is so high that a very small piece of wire becomes a transformer and sparks will fly . U can have a serious fire very quickly.
