The Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) can produce parts that closely approximate the desired geometric shape while reducing costs. Although numerous papers have been published on WAAM manufacturing of different aluminium alloys , there are few studies on the directionality of production. In the present study, WAAM was performed using Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding equipment was used to produce sample parts with AlSi5 welding wire. Samples of these parts were produced to determine the mechanical, corrosion and wear properties of build-up and x-y directions. The results indicate that all properties except cavitation resistance were better in the build-up direction than in the x-y direction.
