(a) 3D rendering of the pores within the gauge of SLS-14 specimen. (b) 2D μCT reconstructed slices showing Pore 1 state at 0 cycles and (c) after 69,000 cycles. (d) Pore 3 state at 0 cycles and (e) after 69,000 cycles. The dark microscopic patterns (apart from the pores and cracks) visible on the images correspond to the eutectic Si particles. The white contour (and some straight lines) around pores and cracks is due to phase contrast.
