Results of molecular-dynamic simulation of structural changes in the surface layer of a design cell of a BCC-crystal under short-term high-energy action are presented. A spatial model where the temperature of the design cell is distributed in accordance with the solution of a linear problem of heat conduction makes it possible to detect disruption of surface layer continuity, including localization of excess free volumes in the form of spherical pores. Dimensions of these imperfections and the time of their existence differ during modeling of laser radiation with different energy density. Conditions are revealed for pore stability during the whole simulation period and a relationship between crystallographic orientation of the “solid – liquid” interphase boundary and sizes of pores formed is determined.
