It's a cash flow hedge as they are using forward contract in order to fix the price of the material  and manage the cash outflow in future.

Its Fair Value Hedge

what kind of item we are hedging its very important tool to identify.

Fixed item or Variable Item

For Example:

1-Fixed interest Loan, Fixed Interest Bond, Inventories and Unrecognized commitment of Firm all these are Fixed Item

2- Variable Interest loan , Variable Interest Bond all these are variable item

And when it comes to hedging fixed items, then you’re practically dealing with the fair value hedge.

Its a simple Fair Value Hedge, as the company is worried of future price of metal and most importantly that metal is not purchased yet it will be purchased means it not yet realized as asset. While in Cash Flow hedge we try to hedge what we already have.
