Yes...

Alloys are combinations of metals and another compound. Some alloys can be made from the mixing of two metals such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe). Other alloys are made by mixing a metal with a non-metal element. An example of that type of alloy is the extremely strong carbon-steel used in many products. Alloys are defined as homogeneous mixtures.

Is calcium hydroxide a metal?

No: Calcium by itself is a metal, but calcium hydroxide is a compound, and compounds are never metals. Note, however, that mixtures of metals, usually called alloys, do exist and are metallic. These alloys are not compounds because they do not have fixed compositions that are the ratios of small whole numbers of atoms of each constituent.
