3.5662 (DIN 1729-2 : 1973-07) G-MgAl6 3.5662 DIN 1729-2 : 1973-07 DIN 1729-2 : 1973-07 replaced by DIN EN 1753 : 1997-08 Replaced Germany EN-MCMgAl6 2.2 1)
1) Remark: G-MgAl6 commercial name A6 - alloy for high elongation and high impact strength, for example for wheel rim for afterwards cold forming - good cast properties - excellent machinable - good cushioning properties - no embrittlement at low temperature - special procedure for smelting, casting, welding and polishing, because its oxidising affinity of melted Mg and Mg-swarfs
