This can be achieved by altering the surface composition with addition of ceramic materials.
The addition of ceramic materials to the surface can be done by application of high energy electron beam irradiation, laser surface alloying and friction stir processing methods.

Introduction Due to the excellent property of functionally graded materials (FGM) to withstanding high temperature gradient environments, it is widely used in many important engineering structures, such as aerospace, nuclear reactors and chemical plants.
Response of a functionally graded ceramic-metal plate accounting for the moderately large rotations in the Von Karman sense was studied by Praveen and Reddy [1].
The material properties P can be expressed as [9] 2 ( ) ( ) 2 n m c c h z P z P P P h −  = − +    (1) where the subscripts m and c denote the metallic and ceramic constituents, respectively. z is the thickness coordinate, and n being a material constant.
Results and discussions In what follows, an Aluminum and Zirconia ceramics system of functionally graded material is considered.
