(b) spraying cooling medium on a surface of the diamond tip immediately after rapidly heating a surface of a body part of the shank up to point Ac3 to point Ac3+200° C. via high-frequency induction heating; and (c) rapidly cooling the surface of the body part of the heated shank at speed of 20° C./sec or more via forcible cooling, the shank comprises a body part connected to a lower end of the diamond tip and having a first thickness, and a screw coupling part integrally connected to a lower end of the body part and having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness; hardness of a surface of the body part of the shank has a higher value than hardness of a surface of the screw coupling part of the shank; the body part of the shank has 300 Hv or more as hardness to 2 mm from the surface; and the shank is cylindrical and an outer surface of the shank has a uniform radius, wherein the diamond tip is attached to the upper end of the shank, and the screw coupling part is threaded, wherein a heat treatment is performed between the screw coupling part and the diamond tip so that the diamond tip and the screw coupling part are not heat treated, wherein the shank includes Si of 0.5 wt % or less, Mn of 0.1 to 2.0 wt %, S of 0.02 wt % or less, P of 0.03 wt % or less, Mo of 0.05 to 0.50 wt %, Cr of 0.1 to 0.5 wt %, B of 0.001 to 0.010 wt %, and Fe and other inevitable impurities. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein (a) comprises: (a-1) inserting the shank into a matrix comprising a diamond mold and a backing part connected to the diamond mold; (a-2) infiltrating the diamond mold at 850 to 1300° C. to couple the diamond tip to an upper end of the shank; and (a-3) cooling the shank with the diamond tip coupled thereto via furnace cooling. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein (a) further comprises (a-4) performing a lathe machining process on the cooled shank. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein, in (a-3), the cooling is performed at speed of 1° C./sec or less via furnace cooling or performed at speed of 5° C./sec or less via air cooling. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein, in (b), the shank and the diamond tip are rotated at speed of 10 to 200 rpm. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein, in (b), the high-frequency induction heating is performed up to a lower end of the body part of the shank from an upper end of the body part of the shank and is not performed on a screw coupling part connected to the lower end of the body part of the shank. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein (b) comprises simultaneously performing high-frequency induction heating and cooling using a high-frequency induction heating and cooling composite unit comprising an induction coil coiled to surround an outer circumferential surface of the shank and a cooling medium supply line that is installed below the induction coil to be spaced apart therefrom and coiled to surround the shank and the diamond tip and in which cooling medium circulates. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the high-frequency induction heat heating and cooling composite unit comprises further comprises: a high-frequency controller configured to control a high-frequency signal applied to the induction coil; and a cooling medium supply controller configured to control supply of cooling medium introduced into the cooling medium supply line.
