Abstract

A hot stamping steel material, which secures good hydrogen embrittlement resistance even when the steel sheet after hot stamping is subjected to processing leading to remaining of stress, such as piercing and which is easily practicable, wherein the steel sheet has the chemical composition of: C: 0.18 to 0.26%; Si: more than 0.02% and not more than 0.05%; Mn: 1.0 to 1.5%; P: 0.03% or less; S: 0.02% or less; Al: 0.001 to 0.5%; N: 0.1% or less; O: 0.001 to 0.02%; Cr: 0 to 2.0%; Mo: 0 to 1.0%; V: 0 to 0.5%; W: 0 to 0.5%; Ni: 0 to 5.0%; B: 0 to 0.01%; Ti: 0 to 0.5%; Nb: 0 to 0.5%; Cu: 0 to 1.0%; and balance: Fe and impurities, in terms of % by mass, the concentration of a Mn-containing inclusion is not less than 0.010% by mass and less than 0.25% by mass, and the number ratio of a Mn oxide to the inclusion having a maximum length of 1.0 to 4.0 μm is 10.0% or more.
