The structure of coating layer formed by hot dip Al-Cu alloy coating on Monel 1400 metal was studied. The coating layer consists of alloyed layer adjacent to the Monel 400 substrate and Al-Cu alloy. It was found that the hardness of coating increased with dipping time and heat treatment associated with the diffusion and the formation of intermetallic compound at the interface. However the thickness of coating layer was decreased at high dipping temperature due to tile higher viscosity of liquid coating alloy. Diffusion heat treatment at $600^{circ}C$ after coating resulted in the disappearence of adhered Al(Cu) and $CuAl_2$ phases, and then they transformed into the new phases of CuAl and Al7Cu4Ni at coating layer.
