A fixing apparatus for fixing an unfixed image on a recording material
includes: a heating member having a conductive layer, that is rotatably
provided; a pressure member that is rotatably provided and that is
brought into press-contact with the heating member, thereby forms a
fixing nip part to pass the recording material between the pressure
member and the heating member; a heating unit that performs induction
heating on the heating member via the conductive layer; a driving unit
that rotates the heating member; and an attachment/separation unit that
attaches or separates the heating member to/from the pressure member.
