The invention relates to a FeCrAl base alloy material for a nuclear fuel cladding material. With the total weight of the FeCrAl base alloy material as a standard, the alloy material comprises 6%-16% of Cr, 3%-8% of Al, 0.001%-1% of Y, 0.1%-4% of Mo, 0.01%-0.5% of Si, 0.001%-0.5% of C, less than or equal to 500 ppm of N, less than or equal to 1000 ppm of O, less than or equal to 500 ppm of P, less than or equal to 500 ppm of S and the balance Fe. A FeCrAl base alloy shows the excellent antioxygenic property in the 1200 DEG C vapor environment, the excellent accident fault-tolerant ability is achieved and is obviously superior to that of a Zr base alloy, the machining performance is good, and the FeCrAl base alloy material can be used as core structural materials such as fuel element cladding, fuel element composite cladding, fuel cladding coatings and positioning grillage stripes in nuclear power station pressurized water reactors.
