Structural studies and mechanical tests of additively manufactured samples from AISI 321 steel copper C110000 have been carried out. Mechanical tensile tests of 321 steel show slight differences in the ultimate tensile strength (up to 3-4%) and ductility (up to 10%) of test coupons tested along the material growth direction and along the layer deposition direction. The strength of C11000 copper samples is 9.4% higher in the layer deposition direction, but their ductility is 15.4% lower than that of samples deformed in the growth direction. The strain relief on the surface of the polished gage section of the steel test coupons demonstrates changes in the material structure with small elongated grains along the growth direction of the sample. The deformation relief of copper samples is mainly related to the deformation of large columnar grains stretched in the growth direction.
