I am looking for steel backed bronze wear strip material. .092" thick. It has small (.021" deep) ball indentations on the bronze surface. It is used as a wear pad on a bracket weldment that I will fabricate.

For this reason you have to select an appropriate alloy content like bronze Sn10Pb10Cu alloy. Mix that metal powder in given amount.Then make paste of this alloy powder with liquid binder that is burnt off at low temperature. Then apply this paste on steel often low carbon steel, make indents and then sinter it in controlled atmosphere. Rolling or pressing is done if required.
