(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To improve the wear resistance of the valve shaft end surface without using a thermal method such as heat treatment or welding. [Structure] A cap member 7 composed of an upper plate 7a and an outer cylinder portion 7b, which is harder than the valve body 3, is press-fitted into the end portion of the shaft portion 2, thereby improving wear resistance of the shaft end surface, and Even if an eccentric load acts on the upper surface of the upper plate 7a during valve driving, the load is concentrated on a part of the shaft portion because it is effectively dispersed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end portion via the outer cylindrical portion 7b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent uneven wear from occurring in that portion.
