An alloy material is provided which contains elements including, in mass %, C: 0.010 to 0.10%, Si: more than 0.10% to 0.50% or less, Mn: 0.05 to 0.50%, Ni: 34.5 to 37.0%, and Nb: 0.001 to 1.0%, and which satisfies [T≤T-2], [C—Nb/7.7-Ta/15≤0.045], [Nb-7.7C≤0.30], and [Ta-15C≤0.30]. Where, each symbol of an element in the above formulas represents a content (mass %) of the corresponding element, Trepresents a Curie temperature (° C.) of the alloy material, and Trepresents a Curie temperature (° C.) of the alloy material after the alloy material is held at 900° C. for one minute and thereafter is cooled under conditions such that an average cooling rate in a temperature range from 600 to 300° C. is 0.2° C./s.
