PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shaft member constituting an exhaust pressure control valve that effectively reduces noise generated between the shaft member and a bearing supporting the member by slightly improving a structure in the shaft member constituting the exhaust pressure control valve, particularly, in a shaft member freely turnably supporting a main valve, and to provide an exhaust pressure control valve with the shaft member. SOLUTION: The shaft member 10 constitutes the exhaust pressure control valve. In part of or all of a surface layer of a shaft member body S constituting the shaft member 10, a first coating 1 consisting of titanium nitride is formed at least in a sliding area Sa of the body, and a second coating 2 constituting of titanium oxide which is produced by oxidizing the titanium nitride is formed on a surface layer of the first coating 1.
