Abstract

This hot stamped member includes: a steel; and a plating layer formed on the steel, in which the plating layer has a predetermined chemical composition, the plating layer contains a Zn-based oxide including one or two of a Zn oxide and a Zn—Mg oxide having a size of 1.0 μm or more and 10.0 μm or less in a thickness direction of the plating layer and 0.1 μm or more in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, and in a cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, when a length of an interface between the plating layer and the steel is indicated as Le, a sum of lengths of the Zn-based oxide projected onto the interface from an upper surface of the plating layer is indicated as ΣLi, and a sum of lengths of portions of the Zn-based oxide in contact with the plating layer projected onto the interface from the upper surface of the plating layer is indicated as ΣLai, ΣLi/Le≥0.10 and ΣLai/ΣLi≥0.50 are satisfied.

Ce: 0% to 1.00%,

Zr: 0% to 1.00%, and

Hf: 0% to 1.00%, and

a remainder of Al and impurities,

the plating layer contains a Zn-based oxide including one or two of a Zn oxide and a Zn—Mg oxide having a size of 1.0 μm or more and 10.0 μm or less in a thickness direction of the plating layer and 0.1 μm or more in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, and

in a cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, when a length of an interface between the plating layer and the steel is indicated as Le, a sum of lengths of the Zn-based oxide projected onto the interface from an upper surface of the plating layer is indicated as ΣLi, and a sum of lengths of portions of the Zn-based oxide in contact with the plating layer projected onto the interface from the upper surface of the plating layer is indicated as ΣLai, Expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied,

ΣLi/Le≥0.10  (1)
