A Question about cylinder head material

Hello

Is the VW Beetles (the old ones )cylinder head made from aluminum or some aluminum alloy? If it's made from aluminum alloy, does anyone know which alloy is it. Thanks.

Almost all metals you find are alloyed. The VW cases are mostly magnesium, but they are a casting alloy.

The VW heads are an aluminum casting alloy, but I don't know which one.
