Abstract
A metal tape material contains a metal having face centered cubic lattice structure, in which metal tape material an area fraction A1 of a preferentially <100>oriented region are within an orientation difference of 15° C. relative to a thickness direction of the metal tape material and further within an orientation difference of 15° C. relative to a first in-plane direction of the metal tape material is 60% or greater and not greater than 100%, and, where an area fraction of a preferentially <212>oriented region are within an orientation difference of 15° relative to the thickness direction and further within an orientation difference of 15° relative to the first in-plane direction is defined as A2, the total of the area fraction of the preferentially <212>oriented region and the area fraction of the preferentially <100>oriented region, A1+A2, is greater than 70% and not greater than 100%.
