Abstract

A hot stamped body comprising a steel base material and an Al—Zn—Mg-based plating layer formed on a surface of the steel base material, wherein the plating layer has a predetermined chemical composition, the plating layer comprises an interfacial layer positioned at an interface with the steel base material and containing Fe and Al and a main layer positioned on the interfacial layer, the main layer comprises, by area ratio, 10.0 to 70.0% of an Mg—Zn containing phase and 30.0 to 90.0% of an Fe—Al containing phase, the Mg—Zn containing phase comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an MgZn phase, Mg 2 Zn 3 phase, and MgZn 2 phase, and the Fe—Al containing phase comprises an FeAl phase and Fe—Al—Zn phase and an area ratio of the Fe—Al—Zn phase in the main layer is more than 10.0 to 75.0%.
