    Abstract: A fuel oil has admixed therewith a minor proportion of an inorganic salt of magnesium; the magnesium salt reduces the corrosion of metal parts of the furnace in which the oil is burnt. The fuel oil may be a distillate of residual fuel oil, and is one containing sulphur and/or vanadium. Suitable salts of magnesium are the sulphate, nitrate or phosphate, or a halide such as the chloride. The magnesium salt may form a slurry with the fuel oil or may be added to the fuel oil as an aqueous solution. An emulsifying agent may be added to the aqueous solution and examples of suitable emulsifying agents are given.ALSO:An iron alloy comprises 0.25 per cent. carbon, 3 per cent manganese, 17 per cent. chromium, 17 per cent. nickel, 2.5 per cent. molybdenum, 1.8 per cent. niobium and 7 per cent cobalt.
