I don't think so, it is the same material as usual center pin (brass , nickel plated). The sharp end is one side only. On some ancient Pleyels (and others)we have these used in lenght that are the centers for may be 15 or 20 hammer butts - we call that "comb" actions, not fun to repin. But the long centers are to be used like the short ones , only they burnish the bushing when inserted, that's convenient. Best regards Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.
