Common materials that we have used over many years are:

Often referred to as Gun Metal or Yellow metal bearings.

A good high load bearing material that has been used  for many years. This is very useful for split bushes as it can be cast thus reducing machining time. Standard bushes are usually manufactured from tube material. More info

Bronze does require regular lubrication.

is a self-lubricating bearing material manufactured by advanced powder metallurgy.

It is fully compacted, unlike oil-impregnated porous bronze materials that are weak by comparison.

DEVA-Metal is provided with an evenly distributed solid lubricant throughout its metallic matrix.

It is suitable for dry running at slow sliding speeds and high loads:

has high resistance to temperature and corrosion.
