Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. (a) Schematic of an AM Ti-TiB MMC block, showing the additive layer directions and the polished-etched surfaces, labelled as L and P, to represent LC (the crack propagates through the AM layers) and PC (the crack propagates along the AM layer) crack propagation surfaces respectively (b) optical microscope image obtained from the polished-etched surface having the AM surface labelled as L (c) optical microscope (Olympus BX60 Upright Brightfield/Darkfield Microscope Pred/BX53) image obtained from the polished-etched surface having the AM surface labelled as P. The circled areas mark TiB clusters.
