Abstract
In the present invention, a press-formed product is manufactured by heating a steel sheet for hot pressing use to a temperature of 900° C. or above and 1,100° C. or below, the steel sheet for hot pressing use having a predetermined chemical component composition, some of Ti-containing precipitates contained in the steel sheet, each of which having an equivalent circle diameter of 30 nm or less, having an average equivalent circle diameter of 6 nm or less, and the precipitated Ti amount and the total Ti amount in the steel fulfilling the relationship represented by formula (1) shown below, thereafter starting press-forming, and holding at the bottom dead point and cooling to a temperature lower than the martensite transformation starting temperature Ms while securing the average cooling rate of 20° C./s or more within a tool.Precipitated Ti amount(mass %)−3.4[N]<0.5×[total Ti amount (mass %)−3.4[N]]  (1)(In the formula (1), [N] represents the content (mass %) of N in the steel.).
