Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode steel?
Both Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid will corrode steel. HCl is used as a "pickling agent" for steel by converting rust (Iron Oxide) to Ferrous Chloride. H2SO4 is also capable of attacking Iron and Magnesium to form Metal-Sulfate mineral complexes. The corrosion rate of steel in sulfuric acid depends on temperature and concentration. In storage tanks and pipes the corrosion rate is also a function of flow velocity. but if you try flourosulphuric acid then it will literally make the steel disappear.... and acids like carborane and magic acid these are strongest acids
