Abstract
Provided is a method for manufacturing a hot-press formed steel-member that is capable of reducing LME without causing cracking of a galvanized steel sheet. The method includes using a galvanized steel sheet, as a base steel, having a prescribed chemical composition, heating the galvanized steel sheet to not lower than an Actransformation-point, and executing hot-press forming at least twice after the heating. Every hot-press forming in is executed so that to satisfy the following expression (1): (R/t)>√(a·(T−b)), where 'R' is a curvature radius (mm) of a shoulder of a tool used in the hot-press forming, 't' is a thickness (mm) of the galvanized steel sheet, “T” is a forming-start temperature (° C.) of the hot-press forming, “a” is a constant 0.2984, and “b” is a constant 590.
