• C 0.050-0.150%
• C is an element that greatly affects the strength of the hot-stamped product. If the C content is less than 0.050%, the strength of the hot stamped product will be low. Therefore, the C content is made 0.050% or more. Preferably, it is 0.070% or more, 0.080% or more, or 0.090% or more. On the other hand, when the C content exceeds 0.150%, the strength of the hot-stamped product becomes too high, and bendability deteriorates. Therefore, the C content should be 0.150% or less. Preferably, it is 0.140% or less, 0.130% or less, 0.120% or less, 0.110% or less, or 0.100% or less.
• Si 0.010-1.000%
• Si has temper softening resistance, and has the effect of suppressing strength reduction due to auto-tempering during hot stamping quenching. If the Si content is less than 0.010%, the above effects may not be obtained and the desired strength may not be obtained, and the bendability may deteriorate. Therefore, the Si content is set to 0.010% or more. Preferably, it is 0.020% or more and 0.030% or more.
• the Si content exceeds 1.000%, the problem of surface scale arises. That is, after pickling the scale generated during hot rolling, patterns due to the surface unevenness are generated, and the surface appearance is inferior. Moreover, when the steel plate surface is plated, the plateability deteriorates. Therefore, the Si content is set to 1.000% or less. Preferably, it is 0.700% or less, 0.500% or less, or 0.300% or less.
• Mn 1.00-2.00%
• Mn is an element that improves the strength of hot stamped compacts and the hardenability of steel. If the Mn content is less than 1.00%, sufficient strength cannot be obtained in the hot-stamped product. Therefore, the Mn content is set to 1.00% or more. Preferably, it is 1.20% or more and 1.40% or more. On the other hand, even if the content of Mn exceeds 2.00%, the above effect is saturated and bendability is lowered. Therefore, the Mn content is set to 2.00% or less. Preferably, it is 1.80% or less and 1.60% or less.
• Al 0.001-0.500%
• Al is an element used as a deoxidizer for molten steel. Insufficient deoxidation reduces the bendability of the hot-stamped body due to excessive oxide formation.
• the Al content is set to 0.001% or more. Preferably, it is 0.010% or more and 0.030% or more.
• the Al content is set to 0.500% or less. Preferably, it is 0.300% or less, 0.200% or less, or 0.100% or less.
• P 0.100% or less
• P is an element that segregates at the grain boundary and reduces the strength of the grain boundary. If the P content exceeds 0.100%, the strength of the grain boundary is remarkably lowered, and the toughness and bendability of the hot-stamped product are lowered. Therefore, the P content is set to 0.100% or less. Preferably, it is 0.080% or less and 0.050% or less. Although the lower limit of the P content is not particularly specified, excessively reducing the P content increases the refining cost, so the P content may be 0.001% or more.
• the S content should be 0.0100% or less. Preferably, it is 0.0080% or less and 0.0050% or less. Although the lower limit of the S content is not particularly specified, the S content may be 0.0001% or more because excessively reducing the S content increases the manufacturing cost of the desulfurization step.
• N 0.0100% or less
• N is an impurity element, and forms nitrides in the steel that act as starting points for bending cracks, thereby deteriorating the bendability of the hot-stamped product. If the N content exceeds 0.0100%, coarse nitrides are formed in the steel and the bendability of the hot-stamped product is remarkably lowered. Therefore, the N content is set to 0.0100% or less.
• the N content is preferably 0.0080% or less and 0.0060% or less.
• the lower limit of the N content is not particularly limited, but if it is reduced to less than 0.0001%, the N removal cost will increase significantly, which is economically unfavorable. In actual operation, the N content may be 0.0001% or more and 0.0005% or more.
• B 0.0005 to 0.0050% B has the effect of improving the hardenability during hot stamping or during cooling after hot stamping, thereby improving the strength of the hot stamped product. If the B content is less than 0.0005%, the above effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, the B content is made 0.0005% or more. Preferably, it is 0.0007% or more and 0.0010% or more. On the other hand, when the B content exceeds 0.0050%, cracks may occur during hot rolling, the above effects may saturate, and the boride may reduce the bendability. Therefore, the B content is set to 0.0050% or less. Preferably, it is 0.0030% or less.
• Ti and Zr form carbonitrides in the steel, It has the effect of improving the strength of the hot-stamped product. Further, N is fixed as a nitride to suppress the formation of BN, and the effect of improving the hardenability of B is exhibited. In order to obtain these effects, one or more of Ti: 0.005% or more and Zr: 0.005% or more are contained. It is not necessary to contain both Ti and Zr, and any one of them may be contained in the above content.

Furthermore, as a solid-solution element, it has the effect of improving the strength and bendability of the hot-stamped product by refining the structure.
• one or more of Nb: 0.015% or more and V: 0.005% or more are contained. It is not necessary to contain both Nb and V, and any one of them may be contained in the above content.

• the contents of Nb and V are each set to 0.100% or less.
• each is 0.080% or less.
• the left side of formula (1) is a formula for calculating the Ms point (°C). If the left side of formula (1) is 440° C. or less, the Ms point becomes low, and even if hot stamping is performed under favorable conditions, a desired amount of soft region cannot be obtained. Therefore, the left side (Ms point) of Equation (1) is set to over 440°C.
• the left side of formula (1) is preferably 450° C. or higher, more preferably 460° C. or higher. Although the upper limit of the left side of the formula (1) is not particularly defined, it may be 600° C. or less, 550° C. or less, or 500° C. or less.
• the left side of the formula (2) is a formula for calculating the nitrogen amount (mass %) fixed to the nitride containing Ti and Zr. If the left side of the formula (2) is equal to or less than the N content, BN is produced and the hardenability-enhancing effect of B cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, the left side of the formula (2) is set to exceed the N content. Although the upper limit of the left side of the formula (2) is not specified, it may be 0.150% or less.

• Co 0.005-0.50%
• Co is an element that has the effect of raising the Ms point and improves the bendability of the hot stamped product. Therefore, Co may be contained as necessary.
