RESISTANCE HEATING ELEMENT, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME, HEATING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resistance heating element that has a resistance value stable for a long period and an image forming apparatus that can suppress fixing unevenness.SOLUTION: There is prepared a resistance heating element in an endless belt shape that is formed of a heat resistant resin in which stainless steel fibers subjected to annealing processing are dispersed. The resistance heating element is employed for a heating belt of a fixing device to constitute an image forming apparatus.SELECTED DRAWING: None
