The paper presents the results of the investigation of VT6 titanium alloy subjected to electro-explosion alloying with TiB{sub 2} and irradiation with pulsed electron beam. It was established that electro-explosion alloying resulted in a high level of roughness of the surface layer with high adhesion of the modified layer and matrix. Further irradiation of the material with electron beam resulted in the smoothing of the surface of alloying and formation of a porous structure with various scale levels in the surface layer. It was also established that the energetic exposure causes the formation of a gradient structure with a changing elemental composition along the direction from the surface of alloying.
