A flat steel product for hot forming to a formed shaped sheet metal part and processes of making same. The flat steel product and the shaped sheet metal part have improved properties, especially in conjunction with an aluminum-based anticorrosion coating.

The invention relates to a method for high-temperature galvanization of ferrous material parts (10). The method comprises the production of zinc melt (12). The method further comprises saturating the iron concentration of the zinc melt (12) so that it is iron-saturated. In addition, the method comprises producing an undersaturation of the iron concentration of the zinc melt (12) so that it is iron-undersaturated. The method further comprises dipping the ferrous material parts (10) in iron-undersaturated zinc melt (12), whereby a galvanization layer (14) is formed on the ferrous material parts (10).
