This paper presents the results of an estimation of the structural and roughness parameters of the outer surface layers of a barrel drill made of cobalt matrix sintered tungsten carbide samples (WC-Co) made by sintering and subjected to finishing by grinding. In order to evaluate the geometric and f...
