The additive manufacturing of metals can be made with the same welding techniques used for joining of materials, in this process called Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing WAAM, a heat source melts the filler metal, and it is deposited layer by layer along a predefined path. This Directed Energy Deposition technique is used to manufacture medium to large scale parts that may require subsequent finishing process. To guarantee the quality of the produced parts it is required to assess their mechanical properties which depend on the welding process variables. This paper exposes the study carried out on a carbon steel wall deposited using GMAW and with a ER70S-6 wire. Horizontal and vertical oriented tensile specimens were machined from the wall according with test method ASTM E8M-21 and mechanical properties were obtained and compared against the values expected by the filler metal specification. Finally, some suggestions are presented that will possibly improve the process aiming to increase yield strength, tensile strength and elongation, especially in the transverse direction to the advance, it requires a greater number of tests throughout the operative range of the equipment used.
