You're thinking of polycrystalline tungsten. This is tungsten FABRIC where the warp and weft of the fabric allude to the pure single-crystalline form (admittedly fabric isn't body centered cubic, but the name is merely evocative) which retains its hardness but is more ductile and malleable. And when combined with OpenStack, Tungsten Fabric forms a superalloy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superalloy suitable for ultra-high performance applications such as gas turbines and the nozzles of rocket engines.
As with tungsten, Tungsten Fabric is best used in combination with other material where it lends it high melting point and tensile strength to the complementary properties of the weaker materials with which it is combined. -- Paul Carver VoIP: 732-545-7377 Cell: 908-803-1656 E: pcar...@att.com<mailto:pcar...@att.com> Q Instant Message<qto://talk/pc2929> It is difficult to make predictions.

Based on input from the community and from trademark counsel, the selected name is Tungsten Fabric. We are working with the LF-N governance board to approve the project for induction as soon as possible, likely at ONS the last week in March. Stay tuned as we finalize the new branding, website, and social channels for Tungsten Fabric, and thanks to everyone who has participated in getting the project ready for its migration into the LF-N.
