I don't think it is an acid you need it is an alkali. The quote below is from Wikipedia: Sodium hydroxide does not attack iron or copper, but other metals such as aluminium, zinc and titanium are attacked rapidly.

Anyways, I am striping two briggs and stratton chromed pistons, after 30 hours, they are almost dechromed, black (sulfur) and flaking chrome areas. After all that, the sulfur has not harmed the surface of the aluminum pistons.

∙ 14y agoA common use of aluminum foil is covering foods, however anything acidic can dissolve the foil, including ketchup and icing. Brine will degrade the integrity of Aluminium over time, and will eventually disintegrate it, however, this is not a quick process and can take many years, if not centuries. There are likely some forms of protazoa which can "eat" through Aluminium but again, it is not something that would happen quickly.
