Provided is a ferritic stainless steel foil having an excellent ability to form whiskers. The ferritic stainless steel foil having an excellent ability to form whiskers is obtained by its composition containing, by mass, C: 0.050% or less, Si: 2.00% or less, Mn: 0.50% or less, S: 0.010% or less, P: 0.050% or less, Cr: 15.0% or more and 30.0% or less, Al: 2.5% or more and 6.5% or less, N: 0.050% or less, one or more elements selected from Ti: 0.01% or more and 0.50% or less, Nb: 0.01% or more and 0.20% or less, V: 0.01% or more and 0.20% or less, Zr: 0.005% or more and 0.200% or less, and Hf: 0.005% or more and 0.200% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, the proportion of a {111} crystal grain (a crystal grain such that the difference between the {111} plane of the crystal grain and a direction perpendicular to the surface of the foil falls within ±15°) on the surface of the foil being 50% by area or more, and the thickness of an oxide layer formed on the surface of the foil being 0.1 µm or less. |
