Make sure it fits the theme on what you are making Now follow below:
Now go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise

About 15 to 40% should be fine
Now go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur

40-70 pixels should work
changing the angel will also change the flow of the metal
Hope i helped out !
Thanks

It could be developed a bit more but it's a good start. I'd recommend adding adding a b/w gradient map or lower the saturation to make it completely gray and get rid of the colours the noise caused.
