ABSTRACT:
A metal member is manufactured that has a plating layer of precious metal on the surface of a bare metal portion formed of a predetermined metal. First, a surface layer of the bare metal portion is removed. Then, a plating of precious metal is applied to the portion where the surface layer of the bare metal portion was removed. Then, the metal member is heat treated in an inert atmosphere. As a result, a metal member can be manufactured that has less carbide and hydrogen near a boundary surface of the plating layer and the bare metal portion than it would if the removing step and the heat treating step were not performed. With a metal member manufactured in this way, the plating layer does not easily peel away.
