Utilize the high-energy ball milling techniques (HEBMT) to get a certain thickness of the nanocrystalline layer in gradient structure on TiAl-based alloys surface, while using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques to analyze the microscopic structure of the surface and study its variation along the depth direction. The results show that through HEBMT, the sample surface can get nanocrystallization and its nano-grain size can be refined to less than 10nm while having a 15μm nanocrystalline layer. Nanoindentation tests show that the surface hardness of the samples after HEBMT can be significantly increased from 340HV to 922HV.
