Metallic mixtures or all-soy mixture? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alloys

'metallic mixtures' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'all-soy mixture?' is the wordplay.
'mixture?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'mixture' mean this).
'soy' anagrammed gives 'oys'.
'all'+'oys'='ALLOYS'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alloys that I've seen before include "Metals formed from mixtures of other metals" , "Tempers" , "Puts down" , "Blends of metals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
