For comparison, tests under the same conditions were carried out at 25 °C. The wear experiments were performed under a normal force of 14 N, which produced a Hertzian maximum pressure of GPa, and a sliding speed of m/s against WC–6%Co(Cr/V) balls of 6 mm diameter. At 25 °C the average values of the friction coefficients were ± and ± for the ground and wire-EDM surface finishes, respectively. The mechanical behavior of both systems at 25 °C was assessed by carrying out analytical calculations of the stress field created by a circular sliding contact under a
