In order to improve the low hardness and poor wear resistance of TA2, this paper proposes a composite process of cold-rolling and low-temperature plasma nitriding with recrystallization. This composite modification process can effectively achieve the dual goals of modifying the matrix structure and surface of TA2 alloy simultaneously. The cold-rolling experimental results indicate that when the deformation rate increases, the small-sized grains in the sample increase significantly, and the grain orientation changes from TD (transverse direction) to RD (rolling direction) and then to TD. The nitriding experimental results indicate that the {0001} basal surface texture deflected from the TD direction to the RD direction, {10-10} cylindrical texture components gradually increased, and the special orientation phenomenon of cylindrical and conical texture disappeared, it can be seen that an increase in the deformation rate promotes recrystallization. The XRD test results indicate that after low-temperature nitriding, metastable nitriding phase TiN0.26 is formed on the surface of TA2. The SEM morphology of the cross-section shows that a relatively special nitrided zone is formed, and mechanical performance test results indicate the wear resistance and hardness of the alloy increased.
