AJ alloys

AJ alloys (AJ52 and AJ62) are die castable alloys of magnesium that have good creep resistance at high temperature. They contain magnesium, aluminium, and strontium.

In the names the 'J' refers to Strontium.

AJ52 has higher creep resistance, and AJ62 has better castability. Both are used in the BMW magnesium–aluminium composite engine block.
