In friction stir welding for 6061-T6 with various traveling speed and rotation speed conditions, the best mechanical characteristics presented in traveling speed of 507 mm/min and rotation speed of 1100RPM. The maximum tensile strength and yield strength increased with the increasing of traveling speed. The result of the electrochemical characteristic evaluation in friction stir welding at optimum conditions for 6061-T6 Al alloy presented a good characteristics compare to base metal.
