Fig 7. Scanning electron microscopy of TiN coated pectus bars.

Fig 7

Top: unbent, below: bent longitudinally. The longitudinal axis of each bar is oriented horizontally. The point of view is depicted in the insets. Note the cracks in the surface of the bent bar (arrowheads), which are oriented mostly crosswise to the bending direction and are absent in the unbent bar. TiN = titanium-nitride.
