In this work, the thermal properties of aluminum-based coatings were investigated. Aluminum thin films, ranging from 3 nm to 0.5 µm, deposited on a 304 stainless steel substrate were prepared by vacuum evaporation and a peak diffusing measurement method was applied to characterize the thermal diffusivity of the nanostructured surface. The work presented hereinafter consists of characterizing the effects of aluminum coating on apparent thermal diffusivity. A practical interval of thickness within which the aluminum coating will not obviously influence the substrate thermal diffusivity is given.
