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) 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 (321) is made of a metal (copper (Cu)) having a
specific resistance less than that of aluminum, and formed to have a
thickness (30 .mu.m) allowing the nonmagnetic metal layer to be
substantially free from a temperature rise due to the induction heating.
