To　protect　aluminum　parts　in　vehicle　engines,　metal-based　thermal　barrier　coatings　in　the　form　of　Fe59Cr12Nb5B20Si4　amorphous　coatings　were　prepared　by　high　velocity　oxygen　fuel　(HVOF)　spraying　under　two　different　conditions.　The　microstructure,　thermal　transport　behavior,　and　wear　behavior　of　the　coatings　were　characterized　simultaneously.　As　a　result,　this　alloy　shows　high　process　robustness　during　spraying.　Both　Fe-based　coatings　present　dense,　layered　structure　with　porosities　below　0.9%.　Due　to　higher　amorphous　phase　content,　the　coating　H-1　exhibits　a　relatively　low　thermal　conductivity,　reaching　2.66　W/(m.K),　two　times　lower　than　the　reference　stainless　steel　coating　(5.85　W/(m.K)),　indicating　a　good　thermal　barrier　property.　Meanwhile,　the　thermal　diffusivity　of　amorphous　coatings　display　a　limited　increase　with　temperature　up　to　500　degrees　C,　which　guarantees　a　steady　and　wide　usage　on　aluminum　alloy.　Furthermore,　the　amorphous　coating　shows　better　wear　resistance　compared　to　high　carbon　martensitic　GCr15　steel　at　different　temperatures.　The　increased　temperature　accelerating　the　tribological　reaction,　leads　to　the　friction　coefficient　and　wear　rate　of　coating　increasing　at　200　degrees　C　and　decreasing　at　400　degrees　C.
