Metalloid:
It is actually any chemical element which have the properties just like the mixture properties of metal and non metal. Or Which contain those properties in between the non metal and metal.
Mostly the metalloids have the appearance just like the metallic appearance And also they are the brittle one's . Boron and silicon are the example.
Alloy:
They are usually the mixture of metals.Some times mixture of metal may contain another element .They are recognized by their metallic bonding characteristics
Steel as well as the brass is the example of Alloy
Note; By combining with other metals metalloid can form the alloy.

Metalloid - A metalloid is a chemical element with properties intermediate between those of typical metals and nonmetals. Usually considered under this classification are the chemical elements like boron, silicon, arsenic, germanium, antimony, and tellurium. The rare elements like astatine and polonium are also sometimes included.
Most of these elements are important industrial materials, being used to make transistors and other semiconductor devices, ceramics, solar batteries, and certain polymers. Metalloids are usually brittle, somewhat shiny solids that behave as electrical insulators at room temperature but become comparable to metals as electrical conductors when heated or when small quantities of certain elements are introduced into the lattices of their crystalline structures.
Alloy - An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by a metallic bonding character. An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solutions) or a metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution.
The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel. Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon along with nickel, chromium etc.
