Fiber-reinforced resin member and method of producing the same

A method of producing a fiber-reinforced resin member comprising a first step of forming a solid or hollow rod member by winding on a core a fiber material composed of a strand of continuous filaments impregnated with a resin, a second step of thermosetting said resin in said rod member and thereafter mechanically polishing an outer periphery of the rod member to finish a surface of the outer periphery, a third step of forming a soft metal layer on the outer periphery of said rod member by squeezing a soft metal softer than said fiber material on the finished outer periphery surface of said rod member so as to cause said soft metal to adhere under pressure to said outer periphery surface, and a fourth step of forming a hard metallic deposit on the surface of said soft metal layer to provide a fiber reinforced resin member.
