Abstract: A pressing member for fixing includes a substantially cylindrical substrate; a first layer that is disposed on an outer surface of the substrate, that contains bubbles, and that is elastic; a second layer disposed on an outer surface of the first layer; and an adhesive layer bonding together the first layer and the second layer. The pressing member has an adhesive-free unbonded region between the first layer and the second layer. The unbonded region extends to at least one end of the pressing member in an axial direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cylindrical heat fixing member in which in a fixing apparatus for fixing an unfixed toner image carried onto a recording material heats and pressurizes the recording material and which heat fixing member is formed by at least a release layer being formed on the peripheral surface of a core metal. In the heat fixing member, the thickness of the core metal is from 0.5 mm to 2.8 mm inclusive and the core metal material is an aluminum alloy that is elastically deformed by a stress of 60.0 Mpa at 210° C. The invention also relates to a heat and pressure fixing apparatus and an image formation apparatus using the heat fixing member.
