In other words, some steel materials may not obtain sufficient phosphatability, thus degrading corrosion resistance after coating.
  • An objective of the present invention which has been made to overcome the above-mentioned problems, is to provide a hot stamped body excellent in fatigue property, spot weldability, and corrosion resistance after coating.
  • the present invention has been made to overcome the above-mentioned problems, and the gist of the present invention is the following hot stamped body.

  • the inventors of the present invention have conducted studies on a method for enhancing corrosion resistance after coating of a formed body. As a result, the inventors of the present invention have found that corrosion resistance can be enhanced by causing a plated layer of the formed body to contain Mg. However, it is found that, in the case of producing a formed body whose plated layer contains Mg, LME easily occurs at the time of performing hot stamping forming, thus deteriorating fatigue property. Further, when Mg content in the plated layer is excessively high, spot weldability is also decreased.

As a result, the following results are obtained. All of the above-mentioned properties can be ensured with a good balance by causing a plated layer to adopt a structure including a layer on the base metal side which contains an Fe—Al alloy as a main component, an oxide layer on the outer layer side, and a layer positioned between these layers, and by causing an appropriate amount of Mg to be concentrated in the oxide layer formed on the outer layer.
