It is around 300 or 350F that bronze occurs IIRC.
Might run small lot test cases. Might be well worth the effort.

I think the temper colour is more like 480F to 500F for a bronze but
that is carbon steel. I have read that the temper colours occur about
100C higher on stainless steel so some trials might be required and an
accurate temperature controlled furnace would help.

Would TiN coating be a close enough colour match? Think coated carbide
inserts...
A better class of cutter regrinding shop would have the facilities to do the
work.
