Default old gate hinge refurb options?

Chemical metal? Or whatever it's called.

Or something similar?

it's still a weak filler no matter what it's called,

you really need to either sleeve the pins, build them back up with weld,
replace them with new or similar,

Any bodging with fillers will only wear off very fast, these fillers are
really just for cosmetic repairs, deffo not bearing type surfaces,
i guess one kind of 'filler' suitable would be white metal or babbitt, but
you need to fanny about making a mould, melting the metal, pouring it, then
finishing it off etc, be easier to re-sleeve the pin me thinks.
