Abstract
Aluminum alloy 6061 is widely used for space development since the advent of space era irradiated with protons using cyclotron. In the condition of confined 5-mm thick wall, protons of 5 MeV, the case of low energy showed larger damage in the structure of aluminum alloy than those of 25.4 MeV, the case of high energy. Protons of 5 MeV stopped and transferred all kinetic energy into the 5-mm thick wall, on the other hand, protons of 25.4 MeV were penetrating and a few energy transferred. Elastic modulus reduced, but elongation was increased, finally tensile strength obviously showed that longer duration of exposure yielded weaker strength of material.
