Guitar Nickel

What are my guitar frets made of?
I have an Ibanez RG350DX and sometimes when I do vibrato the string starts to grind on the fret, I was wondering if I just need new frets, because I'm not pressing very hard on the string. Are they Brass or Nickel Silver or what?
Usually a mixture of Nickel and Silver.
You probably don't want to replace the frets but polish and level them. Recrowning frets is a lot easier and less expensive than putting in new fretwire.
