The effects of different concentrations of NH4VO3 coloring agent on the morphology, darkness, microstructure, phase composition, corrosion resistance, and thermal control properties of the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were investigated by incorporating varying concentrations of NH4VO3 coloring agent into the electrolyte based on the phosphate-silicate solution system. The results demonstrated that as the concentration of NH4VO3 increases, the darkness of the coating gradually decreases while its color intensifies. However, when the concentration exceeds a critical value, coating formation deteriorates. The black appearance of the coating is attributed to V2O3 phase formation. The addition of NH4VO3 promotes a self-sealing micro-pore phenomenon in the black coating, significantly enhancing its corrosion resistance. Electrochemical detection revealed that corrosion resistance of the black coatings is 5 and 3 orders higher than thatof both substrate and non-colored coatings, respectively. Moreover, maximum absorptance and emittance values for the black coatings are measured as 0.927 and 0.882, respectively. Both thermal control and corrosion resistance properties for a black coating are achieved simultaneous improvement.
