Abstract
A fixing device slide member has a surfaceof a sheet body, which surface is made of heat-resistant resin. A specific wear rate on the surfaceof the sheet bodyin the ring-on-disc test is 10×10mm/(N×m) or less on condition that a counterpart material is aluminum, roughness Ra is equal to 0.2 micrometer, PV is equal to 51.2 MPa×m/min, and measuring time is 50 hours. Thus, the surfaceof the sheet bodyis enhanced in wear resistance so as to be free from generation of worn powder, which suppresses torque increase in a pressurizing belt caused by the worn powder.
