Abstract

Fe-Al-based plated hot-stamped member exhibiting excellent formed part corrosion resistance and post-coating corrosion resistance and manufacturing method. The hot-stamping member includes Fe-Al-based plated layer on one or both surfaces of a base material, the base material has a predetermined steel component, Fe-Al-based plated layer has a thickness of 10 μm or more and 60 μm or less, formed by A, B, C and D layers sequentially from a surface toward the base material, and each of the four layers is a Fe-Al-based intermetallic compound containing Al, Fe, Si, Mn and Cr for predetermined contents with the balance made up of impurities, the D layer further contains Kirkendall voids each of which cross-sectional area is 3 μm 2 -30 μm 2 for 10 pieces/6000 μm 2 or more and 40 pieces/6000 μm 2 or less.

4. A manufacturing method of the Fe-Al-based plated hot-stamped member according to claim 1 , comprising:

subjecting a slab of steel having a base material component containing, in mass %,

C: 0.1% or more and 0.5% or less

Si: 0.01% or more and 2.00% or less

Mn: 0.3% or more and 5.0% or less
