This question may be a little out of place in this format, but people have given me very good advice in the past in this forum.

I am trying to locate some b.c.c. sheet material, preferably a b.c.c. Ti alloy, with <110> direction located in the plane of the sheet. Thickness would be on the order of 0.030 - 0.060". It is for a reseacrh project.

If I can't locate a Ti alloy, I would settle for Fe or alternatively any b.c.c. alloy.

Any suggestions?
 
CP Ti isn't bcc, and it textures like mad. But I can't remember which direction is normal to the sheet. They roll it from 20" thick to 0.020" with only stress relief and no recrystalization. I don't know about some of the alloys.
Pure Fe doesn't texture much. Alloys such as Si steels used for transformer laminations are processed to develop very specific directional textures.
