(OP)
We have a 3 MW turbine water turbine runner we are mounting on a generator shaft using an intermediate tapered sleeve and oil injection to make or break the taper. The runner is a martensitic stainless steel (CA6NM) and we have tried low and medium carbon steels for the intermediate sleeve. Whilst there are many variables complicating the situation here, even with good oil distribution, we are getting pick up on the nose of the intermediate cylinder. Our next step is to try NiALBronze for the sleeve material. Does anyone have experience of this type of problem?

I think you're on the right track with an intermediate material of lower modulus.
