An electrode that is used for discharge surface treatment in which, with a compact molded from metal powders or a compact obtained by heating the molded compact as an electrode, pulsed electric discharge is generated between the electrode and a workpiece to form a film of an electrode material, or a film of substance that reacts with the electrode material on a surface of the workpiece by discharge energy. The electrode contains 90 weight percent or more of one of Zn powders, Sn powders, and Ni powders. By using such an electrode for discharge surface treatment, a Zn, Sn, or Ni film less likely to separate from the surface of the workpiece can be formed, and the film can be a phosphide or sulfide reaction film in lubricant containing phosphorus or sulfur.
