Method for producing Fe—Cr alloy

A method for producing a FeCr alloy comprises: rolling a slab having a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 0.020% or less, Si: 0.01% to 1.5%, Mn: 1.0% or less, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Cr: 16.0% to 30.0%, Al: 2.0% to 6.5%, N: 0.020% or less, and Ni: 0.50% or less, with the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities to obtain a sheet material; subjecting the sheet material to siliconizing treatment by a thermal CVD method to obtain a FeCr alloy having a Si content of more than 1.5 mass % and 10.0 mass % or less and satisfying:
14.0%?Si+1.15?% Al+0.35?% Cr(1)
where % Si, % Al, and % Cr indicate Si, Al, and Cr contents, by mass %, respectively in the chemical composition of the FeCr alloy.
