PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing apparatus configured to prevent water droplets from being deposited on a recording material even if a separation member is included.SOLUTION: A fixing apparatus 80 includes a fixing member 81 and a pressure member 83 which are rotating bodies rotating in contact with each other, and is configured to fix an image on a recording material by a nip part N formed between the heated fixing member 81 and the pressure member 83. The fixing apparatus includes a separation member 90 for separating the recording material from one of the fixing member 81 and the pressure member 83. The separation member 90 includes at least a plate-like member 91 formed of alloy containing iron as a principal component. The plate-like member 91 has notch holes 95 formed in a part other than an end on the side of the nip part N. The volume on the side of the nip part N with respect to the notch hole 95 is 1.8 mmor less per 1 mm in an axial direction of the rotating body to be separated by the separation member 90. |
