Abstract
After chemical nickel plating has been applied onto a rotor-side surface 10 of a caliper 5a made of aluminum alloy and an opposite surface 11 disposed in an opposite side of the rotor-side surface, nickel-tungsten alloy plating is applied onto these both surfaces 10, 11. Then, gold plating is applied onto only the rotor-side surface 10. As a result, a reflectance to incident light on the rotor-side surface 10 is made higher than a reflectance to incident light on the opposite surface 11.
