The results indicate that the temperature and stress variations in the model system increase with the increment of laser energy density. The pulse width has a relatively low effect on temperature and stress variations. At the same time, an increase in dislocations is primarily related to energy density and stress distribution. The number of dislocations increases with the energy density, with the 1/6<112> dislocation showing the highest increase ratio. The densest concentration of dislocations occurs at the hole walls. Dislocations and stacking faults gradually penetrate the precipitate phase under the influence of temperature and reach a stable state as the relaxation time increases.
