can we definitely say that "alloy" is a type of metalic/metal?

[balagna]

hi,

I had applied to turkish patent institute for a product ,and today; it has been published.

unfortunately I neglected some important details and / or because of confusion of my head ,I could not place all the properties in their correct claims. 

Now I wonder this detail (important)

"I defined the product (its production material) with metalic / metal or steel. (but unfortunately ,ı did forget to write stainless steel.So,can we say as I already wrote "metal/metalic" , I do not need to further define it as stainless steel (i.e. metalic means ,every types of metals (including stainless steel, aluminnium, etc.)"

 

Thanks in advance for help.
