Structural conditions of the B2 phase of the Ti{sub 49.5}Ni{sub 50.5} alloy surface layers before and after electron-beam treatments (pulse duration τ = 150 μs, number of pulses n = 5, beam energy density E ≤ 20 J/cm{sup 2}) were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Analysis of the X-ray patterns demonstrates that surface layers modified by electron beam treatment contain phase with B2{sup surf} structure. It is revealed that the lattice parameter of the B2{sup surf} phase in the surface (modified) layer is also higher than the lattice parameter of the B2 phase in the underlying layer (a{sub B2} = 3.0159±0.0005). The values of lattice parameter of phase B2{sup surf} amounted a{sub B2}{sup surf} = 3.0316±0.0005 Å and a{sub B2}{sup surf} = 3.0252±0.0005 Å, for the specimens after electron-beam treatment at E{sub 1} = 15 J/cm{sup 2} and E{sub 2} = 20 J/cm{sup 2}, respectively. Inflated lattice parameters a{sub B2}{sup surf} are associated with changes in the chemical composition and the presence of residual stresses in the surface region of the samples after electron-beam treatments.
