In recent years, additive manufacturing of products made from 5000 series alloys has grown in popularity for marine and automotive applications. At the same time, little research has been aimed at determining the permissible load ranges and areas of application, especially in comparison with materials obtained by traditional methods. In this work, we compared the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 5056 produced by wire-arc additive technology and rolling. Structural analysis of the material was carried out using EBSD and EDX. Tensile tests under quasi-static loading and impact toughness tests under impact loading were also carried out. SEM was used to examine the fracture surface of the materials during these tests. The mechanical properties of the materials under quasi-static loading conditions exhibit a striking similarity. Specifically, the yield stressσ0.2was measured at 128 MPa for the industrially manufactured AA5056_IM and 111 MPa for the AA5056_AM. In contrast, impact toughness tests showed that AA5056_AM KCVfullwas 190 kJ/m2, half that of AA5056_IM KCVfull, which was 395 kJ/m2.
