A manufacturing method of an endless metal belt having metal rings built
up and differing in circumference, includes the following steps of: a
first circumference correction step of expanding each of the metal rings;
and a second circumference correction step of expanding each of the metal
rings after conducting a solution heat treatment to the expanded metal
ring. In the manufacturing method, by executing the first circumference
correction step and the second circumference correction step before and
after the solution heat treatment, respectively, an expansion quantity
for setting a circumference of each of the metal rings to become a
predetermined length is attained.
