A fixing device (30) has a fixing member (30) adapted to be heated by
induction heating based on a magnetic field from an induction coil (34).
A pressing member (40) is disposed in contact with the fixing member (30)
to define therebetween a nip zone (N) for passing a sheet (P)
therethrough. The fixing member includes a heating layer (32). The
heating layer (32) has a temperature-sensitive metal layer (321) and
formed on the side of the induction coil (34), and a nonmagnetic metal
layer (322) laminated onto the temperature-sensitive metal layer (321).
The nonmagnetic metal layer is made of aluminum as a metal having a low
specific resistance, and formed to have a thickness (50 .mu.m) allowing
the nonmagnetic metal layer to be substantially free from a temperature
rise due to the induction heating.
