The properties of strangelets at finite temperature are studied within the framework of a baryon densitydependent quark mass model, where a new quark mass scaling and self-consistent thermodynamic treatment are adopted. The effects of finite volume and Coulomb energy are taken into account. Our results show that the temperature T, baryon number A, and perturbation interactions have strong influences on the properties of strangelets. It is found that the energy per baryon M/A and charge-to-mass ratio fz decrease with baryon number A, while the mechanically stable radius R and strangeness per baryon fS are increasing. For a strangelet with a fixed baryon number, we note that as temperature T increases the quantities M/A, R, and fS are increasing while fz is decreasing. The effects of confinement and perturbative interactions are investigated as well by readjusting the corresponding parameters.
