Abstract
A fabrication method for a diamond-coated cemented carbide cutting tool includes electrolytically etching the surface of a cemented carbide cutting tool with a NaOH or KOH aqueous solution or chemically etching the surface of the cemented carbide cutting tool with a KMnO.sub.4 +KOH aqueous solution, and depositing a diamond film on the cemented carbide cutting tool. A stronger etching effect than by using a Murakami solution can be achieved, and no poisonous material is included in the etchant. In addition, disposal of the waste etchant is made simpler, and the adhesion between the diamond film coating and the cemented carbide cutting tool can be strengthened.
