Why is hydrochloric acid used to process steel?
No. Hydrochloric acid may not protect steel.
Does stainless steel discolour?
Yes, acid can discolour stainless steel. This includes tomatoes, vinegar, citrus and other acidic foodstuffs in your stainless steel sink.
What containers can store phosphoric acid?
stainless steel or reinforced plastic
What will happen to a silver earring that is accidentally dropped into toilet bowl cleaner that contains hydrochloric acid?
well
Why is sulfuric acid more corrosive to steel than hydrochloric acid?
Sulfuric acid is not necessarily more corrosive to steel than hydrochloric acid. The corrosion rate is dependent on many factors including concentration of the acid, temperature, type of steel, contaminants, and velocity of the fluid.For example, sulfuric acid at concentrations of 96% or better, at ambient temperatures may be safely contained for long periods of time in mild steel or low alloy cast iron containers provided fluid velocity is low. If the concentration drops below 94-95% corrosion will accelerate dramatically.Stainless steels would provide better resistance to both acids, but might develop localized corrosion issues (pitting, crevice corrosion) in hydrochloric acid due to the presence of chloride ions. Depending on the particular alloy and the concentration of the acid stainless steels might or might not be attacked (general or uniform corrosion) by either acid.There is no simple answer.
What if you coated steel in hydrOchloric acid and put it in water?
Well hydrochloric acid readily dissolves all metals except gold and platinum....but take a longer time to react with stainless steel!
Why is hydrochloric acid used to process steel?
No. Hydrochloric acid may not protect steel.
Can you use ferric acid on stainless steel?
I would not recommend it, however, if you know a welder or mechanic you have the cast iron cleaned in their vat that they use to clean their parts in.. go figure but it woks, I used to have my done by a friend in his shop.

Yes, acid can discolour stainless steel. This includes tomatoes, vinegar, citrus and other acidic foodstuffs in your stainless steel sink.
Can you store copper chloride in an iron vessel?
Emphatically no! Iron or steel will rapidly dissolve in hydrochloric acid generating hydrogen gas. Even stainless steel is not very good for containing hydrochloric acid. Chloride ions are highly corrosive and cause normal grades of stainless to pit and crack. The best bet (besides avoiding it altogether) is glass (as it is stored in a laboratory) or plastic - PVC, polyethylene, or polypropylene.
Do hydrochloric acid corrode carbon steel?
yes
I need to find information on the passivation process for stainless steel. Where should I look?
There is an explanation of passivation and the use of passivation at PF Online Passivation of Stainless Steel. Try the guide to passivation of stainless steel at the British Stainless Steel Association. It discusses the use of nitric acid and citric acid treatments.
How do you remove black stains in a stainless steel sink caused by head shoulders shampoo?
Dunno about Head and Shoulders stains, but I badly blackened my stainless steel sink with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid a while ago. I tried various things, but Brasso did a pretty good job in the end.
Can sweat ruin stainless steel?
In some cases yes. If the stainless steel was not passified (removing iron particles left on stainless steel by contact with tool steel dies) with nitric or sulfuric acid then yes.
A strip of zinc is dropped into a test tube of hydrochloric acid?
an exothermic reaction
Why do you use stainless steel screws on a cedar fence?
Stainless steel does not corrode like other metals do. because of the tannic acid in cedar and the fact that it will be outdoors stainless steel will resist corrision much better.
What do sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid do to steel wool?
catches on fire
