I am currently working as a diamond coating technician, responsible for the correct and precise mixing of the necessary chemicals used to correctly prepare carbide metal cutting tools for diamond seeding the chemically affected surfaces for extra strength and longevity. The tools are then staged in ovens which are under extreme high heat and extreme negative pressure for a specified amount of hours according to their carbide metal grade.
