Figure 4.26 shows SEM micrographs <strong>of</strong> the CR6, CR15 and CR30F alum<strong>in</strong>a<br />

samples that <strong>use</strong>d Ti wire. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Figure 4.26, all <strong>of</strong> the samples had porosity <strong>in</strong><br />

alum<strong>in</strong>a and the CR15 alum<strong>in</strong>a samples have crack. As <strong>in</strong> Figure 4.15, the titanium wire<br />
