The dynamic evolutions of different fracture morphologies in the fracture surface of brittle Mg-based metallic glasses (MGs) were systematically and quantitatively studied by SEM and AFM. It shows that the evolution of the fracture morphology pattern is dominated by an effective dynamic parameter of critical crack tip curvature radius. Based on crack tip plastic zone and shear transformation zone (STZ) theories, a theoretical model for the evolution of the crack tip curvature radius by considering the activation of STZs during fracture was proposed. The model can simulate the crack propagation process, and predict the critical crack tip curvature radius and the fracture pattern transition between the dimples and the periodic corrugations solely occurring in brittle MGs. These results have implications for understanding the microscopic fracture mechanism and the structural origin of fracture in MGs.
