A powder-contacting member that prevents adhesion of powder even when the powder coming into contact with a surface is not only in the form of a single particle but also in the form of a layer, and has high flowability, and a method for the surface treatment of a powder-contacting member. The powder-contacting member has a surface with which powder comes into contact and on which surface treatment is performed. An arithmetic average peak curvature Spc (1/mm) of the surface is 150 to 400, a peak density Spd (piece/mm2) of the surface is 10000 to 180000, a root mean square gradient Sdq of the surface is 0.05 to 0.30, and an arithmetic average height Sa (μm) of the surface is 0.02 to 3.00.
