So a while back at a local yard sale i ran across 2 boxes of roughly 50 circuit breakers. I have broken them all down and seperated them into catagories. You have some parts http://imgur.com/a/AUu0D that appear to be solid silver some have silver contact points (pads) and some of it is copper and silver braided wire had a almost yellow cast to it. From the research i have done the pads will be a copper/silver alloy since the silver would normally be to soft to take the repeated abuse of the breaker smacking together on engage. Does anyone here have experience on how to process these parts since they will contain copper/silver alloys?
