Abstract: Provided is a faucet fixture to which antifouling functionality is imparted without causing localized corrosion. The present invention is a faucet fixture comprising a metal base material and a plating layer partially formed on the surface of the metal base material. The metal base material contains at least one metal element species selected from the group consisting of copper, zinc, and tin. The plating layer contains at least one metal element species selected from the group consisting of chromium and nickel. An organic layer is further provided on the plating layer, with a passive layer present on the surface of the plating layer being interposed therebetween. The organic layer is bonded to the passive layer via the bonding of a metal element (M), which constitutes the passive layer, and a phosphorus atom (P) in at least one type of group (X) selected from the group consisting of phosphonate groups, phosphate groups, and phosphinate groups, with an oxygen atom (O) interposed therebetween (M-O—P bond). Group X is bonded to a group R (wherein R is a hydrocarbon group, or a group comprising an atom other than carbon at one or two locations within a hydrocarbon group). The phosphorus atom concentration in the portion of the surface of the metal base material on which the plating layer is not formed is lower than the phosphorus atom concentration in the organic layer provided on the plating layer.

Abstract: A part includes a base material and a surface layer on the base material, wherein a curved surface of the part has: a root mean square height (Sq) of 0.03 μm to 1 μm, a skewness (Ssk) of −1 to 5, and an autocorrelation length (Sal) of 10 μm to 65 μm; and the surface layer is water-repellent, and exhibits a sputtering time of 5 minutes or less, the sputtering time being a time taken from the start of the sputtering to an end point of the surface layer, and the end point being defined, in a profile obtained by an XPS depth direction analysis of the surface layer, as a point where a difference of an absolute value between a carbon atom concentration at a certain measurement point and a carbon atom concentration at a measurement point just prior to the certain measurement point is 1.0 at % or less.
