Can you use a bronze clevis pin as a sacrificial part?

That seems reasonable, but:
I have an engine with bronze bushes on hardened rocker pins.
Surprisingly, the bushes seem to relatively unworn, but the steel pins
are badly notched. What's going on?

Dust and dirt embed into the bronze, because it's soft, and proceed to
eat the steel pin a bit, every time the pedal is moved.

It is the basic principle in lapping. Grit embedded in a soft metal,
cuts harder metal.
