The anode block includes a tube portion, and a bottom portion closing one end side of the tube portion and joined to the anode target. The coolant pipe is located on an inner side of the tube portion, includes an outlet from which a coolant is discharged toward the bottom portion, and forms a flow passage of the coolant between the coolant pipe and the anode block. The protective film covers an inner surface of the bottom portion and is formed of hard gold containing nickel.
