... it was determined it is a silver-iron alloy ...

Possibly a brazing rod. Silver-iron is pretty uncommon as an alloy. It's also used in circuit breakers and relays - but that would not be a "bar".

If you have a bar of a silver,iron alloy made for electrical applications the amount of silver present in it is relatively small.Most likely 0.5 to .1 percent.
