A terminal comprising: a connector portion electrically connectable to an external terminal; a tubular crimp portion that crimps with an electric wire; and is formed integrally with the connector portion via a transition portion that couples the connector portion and the tubular crimp portion, or is coupled to the connector portion separately formed therefrom, wherein the tubular crimp portion is formed of a metal member having the metal base material composed of one of copper and a copper alloy, the tubular crimp portion is a tubular member formed in such a shape that the tubular member is closed at a transition portion side and reduces in diameter from an electric wire insertion opening side towards the transition portion side, the tubular crimp portion has a belt-shaped weld portion formed along a direction that is the same as a longitudinal direction of the tubular crimp portion, the belt-shaped weld portion being provided by laser welding, a circumferential direction of the tubular crimp portion is the same as a rolling direction of the base material in the metal member, and a sum of area ratios R1, R2 and R3 is greater than or equal to 15%, where R1, R2 and R3 are area ratios, in the metal base material in the metal member, of crystal grains oriented in Cube orientation, RDW orientation, and Goss orientation, respectively, in the base material, the crystal grains defined by the area ratios R1, R2 and R3 are oriented in Cube orientation <100>, RDW orientation <001>, and Goss orientation <001>, respectively, which are facing a plane of a face centered cubic lattice with respect to the rolling direction, wherein the Cube-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from Cube orientation, the RDW-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from RDW orientation and the Goss-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from Goss orientation. a connector portion electrically connectable to an external terminal; a tubular crimp portion that crimps with an electric wire; and is formed integrally with the connector portion via a transition portion that couples the connector portion and the tubular crimp portion, or is coupled to the connector portion separately formed therefrom, wherein the tubular crimp portion is formed of a metal member having the metal base material composed of one of copper and a copper alloy, the tubular crimp portion is a tubular member formed in such a shape that the tubular member is closed at a transition portion side and reduces in diameter from an electric wire insertion opening side towards the transition portion side, the tubular crimp portion has a belt-shaped weld portion formed along a direction that is the same as a longitudinal direction of the tubular crimp portion, the belt-shaped weld portion being provided by laser welding, a circumferential direction of the tubular crimp portion is the same as a rolling direction of the base material in the metal member, and a sum of area ratios R1, R2 and R3 is greater than or equal to 15%, where R1, R2 and R3 are area ratios, in the metal base material in the metal member, of crystal grains oriented in Cube orientation, RDW orientation, and Goss orientation, respectively, in the base material, the crystal grains defined by the area ratios R1, R2 and R3 are oriented in Cube orientation <100>, RDW orientation <001>, and Goss orientation <001>, respectively, which are facing a plane of a face centered cubic lattice with respect to the rolling direction, wherein the Cube-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from Cube orientation, the RDW-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from RDW orientation and the Goss-oriented crystal grains include crystal grains at a deviation angle of ±10% from Goss orientation.
