A fixing roller includes: a core; an elastic layer made of an elastic material, formed around the core; and a resin layer made of fluorine resin, formed around the elastic layer. The fixing roller is designed such that the resin layer has a thickness of 40 mum or more, and the fixing roller meets a relation Tr>=Tc+60 or Tr>=Tc+75 where Tr (° C.) is a limit temperature obtained in a predetermined peeling test and Tc (° C.) is a temperature of the fixing roller at which a fixing process is performed. This allows the fixing roller used in an image forming apparatus with a high process speed to secure that the resin layer is less likely to be detached from the elastic layer.
