Not to my knowledge.

Tool comes with three brushes.
Brushes are 1/8" diameter x 1 1/2" long.
Additional replacement brushes are available, product number 262-337.
I use these after the drill bit.

When cleaning the rifle, after it is shot, i remove the plug. Then a drill of the proper size is used to remove the hard carbon from the flame channel. Then the plug is soaked in a pill bottle filled with Windex with vinegar solution. The solution softens the thin layer of carbon left in the channel, and the carbon coating the nose of the plug. When removed from the solution, the remaining carbon, i wipe off with a paper towel. If some carbon remains, the plug can be soaked some more, or i may use a scotch bright pad to remove the remnant carbon. Using a pipe cleaner dries the inside of the plug; a paper towel dries the exterior.
The carbon in the channel is hard like steel, right now. Using a Windex vinegar solution, or other solutions, softens it.
When you write, asking if the carbon hardens with time, no one should be able to answer your question, because no one should leave their rifle uncleaned for time.....
