Introduction. At present, additive manufacturing is one of the most promising methods to optimize the production processes of complex metal products. It is based on the layer-by-layer metal deposition in accordance with a three-dimensional model created using computer aided design software. Various metal powders and wires are applied as a feedstock, and a laser or electron beam, as well as an arc can be employed as a heat source. Despite the existing rather large number of developed methods for the complex metal product additive manufacturing, some of them are very expensive that results in a high production cost. Due to this fact, developing equipment and procedures for the layer-by-layer gas metal arc deposition using carbon dioxide as a shielding gas is an urgent task. The aim of the paper is to investigate the mechanical and tribological properties of carbon steel samples built by the layer-by-layer gas metal arc deposition according to the developed procedure. The carbon steel samples, built by layer-by-layer gas metal arc deposition using carbon dioxide as a shielding gas, are studied. The research methods are mechanical tests of tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of grown samples, as well as tribological properties (wear surface area, friction coefficient and amplitude of vibrational accelerations). Results and Discussion. It is found that the samples built by the developed additive manufacturing procedure possessed the mechanical properties commensurate with hot-rolled steel. It is established that there is a decrease in linear energy when growing a metal wall according to the developed technology due to preheating of the electrode wire to 400...600 ° C by installing an additional current supply located at a distance of 250…400 mm from the end of the wire to pass the heating current. As a result, the tribological properties of the grown samples are increased and its wear became more uniform.
