Our Customer has asked us to machine some large c932 bronze bushings with pitched ID grooves in them and fill it with graphite. Anyone have experience with that and is that something a novice person can do. I can purchase powder or paste but hardening it seems to be a road block. I've read this can be done with binders or heat treatment. The mating part is a steel shaft. The ID would be cut to size after the graphite is added.

Your wasting time if you make these, your local bearing/bushing industrial supply shop knows the mfgs just sent them the RFQ, or a quick google search gives you the US mfgs, they even do customs with short lead times.
