Beam Stiffener Material
(OP)
I am trying to reinforce an aluminum member with steel to control deflection. I do not have enough room to add enough steel to meet the deflection criteria. Does anyone now of a higher modulus material that is readily available in barstock? I have looked into tungsten wihout much luck. Thanks for your help.

Or as I often say to people sure I can spec. unobtainium, just tell me where to buy it.
You will have to get your stiffness through geometry.

It won't be cheap, but less money and weight than W.
