The AK5M2 aluminum alloy was investigated following surface modification involving deposition of a titanium film with subsequent electron beam irradiation. The strength characteristics of the alloy according to tension to failure are determined. Changes in the crystal lattice period of the Al and Al3Ti phases depending on the electron beam energy density are investigated and analyzed. Based on the experimental results, the most effective modes of electron beam processing were selected to increase the obtained mechanical properties of the alloy.
