Is there any acid that will eat through a metal?

i was working on demolishing my grandma's house with my dad and we got to use a track hoe... basically, its a small backhoe with tracks instead of tires, but anyways, when we got to grandpa's shed we knocked it down on the first day. a few days later i got to come back and help again, and I accidentally ran over a bottle of sulfuric acid! less than 30 seconds later, the track hoe started smoking, and my dad told me that i had run over a bottle of sulfuric acid, and that it was eating away at the metal. i drove the track hoe over to a hose, and my dad hosed it off. he told me that if you spilled some of the sulfuric acid on the concrete, it would eat through that too.
