Abstract

There is provided a hot-stamped body including: a steel base metal; and a metallic layer formed on a surface of the steel base metal, wherein the metallic layer includes: an interface layer that contains, in mass %, Al: 30.0 to 36.0%, has a thickness of 100 nm to 5 μm, and is located in an interface between the metallic layer and the steel base metal; and a principal layer that includes coexisting MgZn 2 phases and insular FeAl 2 phases, is located on the interface layer, and has a thickness of 3 μm to 40 μm.

Claims (75)
