This specification covers a magnesium alloy in the form of sand castings. These castings have been used typically for parts requiring high yield strength up to 570 degrees F (299 degrees C) and excellent corrosion resistance, but usage is not limited to such applications.
Rationale: AMS4426C results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification. This standard is being reviewed as part of the SAE Five-Year Review policy. The committee will look at possible changes to ordering information and other potential updates throughout the standard.
