Abstract
An image heating apparatus is for heating an image formed on a recording material, and has a first roller, a second roller cooperating with the first roller to form a conveying nip portion for passing the recording material therethrough, and heating means for heating the first roller from the outer peripheral surface side thereof, and each of the first roller and the second roller has an adiabatic layer formed of a porous ceramics material and an elastic layer disposed outside the adiabatic layer. Thereby, consumed power during the passing of the recording material can be suppressed.
