  • Publication number: 20180281348
    Abstract: To provide a galvanized steel sheet for hot pressing which can achieve heating for suppressing the occurrence of LME cracks in a short time during a hot pressing process, and a method of manufacturing a hot press-formed product obtained by performing hot pressing using the galvanized steel sheet. Disclosed is a galvanized steel sheet for use in hot pressing, including a galvanized layer and a base steel sheet, wherein internal oxide is present on a side of the base steel sheet from an interface between the galvanized layer and the base steel sheet, the base steel sheet including defined C, Si, Mn, and Cr, with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities, wherein the base steel sheet satisfies the following formula (1): (2×[Si]/28.1+[Mn]/54.9+1.5×[Cr]/52.0)?0.05??(1) wherein, in the formula (1), [Si] represents a Si content in mass % of the base steel sheet, [Mn] represents a Mn content in mass % of the base steel sheet, and [Cr] represents a Cr content in mass % of the base steel sheet.
