Abstract

A hot stamped high strength part in which the propagation of cracks which form at the plating layer at the time of hot stamping when hot stamping aluminum plated steel sheet is suppressed and the post painting anticorrosion property is excellent even without adding special ingredient elements which suppress formation of cracks in an aluminum plating layer is provided. A hot stamped high strength part which is excellent in post painting anticorrosion property, which hot stamped high strength part has an alloy plating layer which includes an Al—Fe intermetallic compound phase on the surface of the steel sheet, wherein the alloy plating layer is comprised from phases of a plurality of intermetallic compounds, a mean linear intercept length of crystal grains of a phase containing A1: 40 to 65 mass % among the phases of the plurality of intermetallic compounds is 3 to 20 μm, an average value of thickness of the Al—Fe alloy plating layer is 10 to 50 μm, and a ratio of the average value of thickness to the standard deviation of thickness of the Al—Fe alloy plating layer satisfies the following relationship: ◯<standard deviation of thickness/average value of thickness ≦0.15.

First claim
