Abstract

A hot-stamping formed body has a predetermined chemical composition and includes microstructure which includes residual austenite of which an area ratio is in a range of 20% to 30%. Among grain boundaries of crystal grains of bainite and tempered martensite in the microstructure, a ratio of a length of a grain boundary having a rotation angle in a range of 55° to 75° to a total length of a grain boundary having a rotation angle in a range of 4° to 12°, a grain boundary having a rotation angle in a range of 49° to 54°, and a grain boundary having a rotation angle in a range of 55° to 75° to the <011> direction as a rotation axis is 30% or more.
