AGE,
Please take the advice of an old NASA Designer,
Loose the Inconel, That is bad stuff.
The very things that make it seem desirable, Tough and Rust resistant. Also make it Lousy for production and succeptable to seizing up.The Older Nickel Alloys in my book are bad medicine.
Look to 17-4 PH or some of the other new and better machining Precipitation Hardening Steels.
The have the added advantage of being able to harden any of the rubbing parts to differing hardness and thereby diminishing the galling problem.
