Abstract
•A steam treatment was employed to provide protective coatings to Mg-alloys.•The steam treatment was conducted in stainless steel autoclaves at 150 °C for 3 h.•The formation mechanism of the steam coatings on various Mg-alloys was explored.•Steam is more favourable than liquid water regarding to coating properties.•Alloying elements also influence coatings properties.
