Abstract

The present invention solves the problem of melting of Al in heating before hot-stamping, which had been a problem in the past in applying hot-stamping to Al-plated steel sheet, and provides Al-plated steel sheet for hot-stamping and a method of hot-stamping using that Al-plated steel sheet to solve the problem of delayed fracture due to residual hydrogen, and, furthermore, a method of a rapid heating hot-stamping using that Al-plated steel sheet.The Al-plated steel sheet of the present invention is produced by annealing the Al-plated steel sheet as coiled in a box-anneal furnace for the time and at the temperature indicated in FIG. 5, and alloying of a plated Al and a steel sheet.Further, a method of rapid heating hot-stamping in the present invention is characterized by cutting out a stamping blank of an Al-plated steel sheet, and heating that blank in heating before hot-stamping by an average temperature with a rising rate of 40° C./sec or more and a time of exposure to an environment of 700° C. or more of 20 seconds or less, and then hot-stamping it.
