Abstract
This paper discusses the way in which the features found on some tensile fracture surfaces of amorphous metals are formed. The relevance of the strongly inhomogeneous plastic flow present in these solids to the formation of the particular fracture topography discussed is pointed out, as well as features common to the well-known fracture micromechanisms, cleavage and dimpled rupture.
