Abstract: The effects of Fe and Si impurity elements and Cu content, the hydrogen and sodium ion content, grain refinement and high temperature homogenizing treatment on the fracture toughness of 7B04 alloy are studied. Lowering the contents of Fe and Si impurity elements and adjusting Cu content can reduce the coarse hard phases and the excess phases which are difficult to dissolve. Lowering the hydrogen and sodium ion content in the alloy can lower the hydrogen embrittlement and sodium embrittlement. Strengthening grain refinement can get fine grains. High temperature homogenizing treatment prompts the coarse second phase particle to dissolve into the matrix. The results show that high purity, high purification, high homogeneity and supper refined grains are obtained after these measures and the fracture toughness of alloy raises remarkably.
