A member is disclosed which includes a hard carbon film provided through an interlayer or directly on a main body such as a vane. A mixed layer is formed within the main body or interlayer adjacent to an outer surface of the main body or interlayer. The mixed layer contains carbon and a constituent element of either the main body or the interlayer. The mixed layer has a carbon content gradient in its thickness direction so that a carbon content in a thickness portion thereof closer to an outer surface of the mixed layer is higher than in a thickness portion thereof remoter from the outer surface of the mixed layer.
