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

Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode aluminum?
Yes.
If you where to store sulfuric acid in a container out of a steel can glass jar or a plastic bottle which one would be most likely to corrode?
steel
Does platinum interact with sulfuric acid?
"Platinum resists sulfuric acid in all concentrations and temperatures."Source: Handbook of Corrosion Data - 2nd Edition, p. 850, ASM International, Materials Park, Ohio, 1995, ISBN: 0-87170-518-4
Is hydrochloric acid the same as sulfuric acid?
No. HCl is hydrochloric acid and H2SO4 is sulphuric acid.
What is a suffix for acid?
ic, as in hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode aluminum?
Yes.
Do hydrochloric acid corrode carbon steel?
yes
If you where to store sulfuric acid in a container out of a steel can glass jar or a plastic bottle which one would be most likely to corrode?
steel
What are the four most important industrial acids?
Sulfuric acid, Hydrochloric acid, Nitric acid, Phosphoric Acid

No. HCl is hydrochloric acid and H2SO4 is sulphuric acid.
What is a suffix for acid?
ic, as in hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
What can you use to make metal rust?
Dilute hydrochloric acid will make steel corrode extremely quickly. Other metals need other agents to make them corrode "rust"
Is hydrochloric acid considered a strong acid?
Hydrochloric acid is the third strongest acid after sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
Is sulfuric acid hydrochloric acid?
No, these are two different chemicals. Hydrochloric acid, or hydrogen chloride, is a compound of hydrogen and chlorine. Sulfuric acid, is a compound of hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen.
What is amazing about nitric acid?
It produces Nitrogen oxides, rather than hydrogen, while reacting with most metals. It can also corrode Lead, Bismuth, and some other metals which Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid cannot.
Please name 3 different acids and note their chemical formula?
hydrochloric acid (HCl)Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)Nitric Acid (HNO3)
