    As a reminder to those that recover the contacts from relays: CADMIUM OXIDE IS DANGEROUS STUFF! (look up a MSDS) Its' wispy white smoke coats everything around it as it vapourizes and spreads it's danger if handled incorrectly. Proper PPE and clean-up procedures are vital in your efforts for everyone around you!
    The alloys used vary widely depending on the intended use of the relay. Looking up the composition on sites that have manufacturers spec sheets is time-consuming and counter-productive if you have plenty of one-off pieces, leading many to sweat the contact points off in bunches, regardless of the composition. If you do this, assume every one of them is Cadmium oxide and treat it accordingly! A little bit of precious metal is WAY LESS precious than your, or your loved ones' health! Be safe.
