'''Hydrofluoric acid''' (HF) is technically a [[weak acid]], i.e., when [[hydrogen fluoride]] is solved in water, it dissociates incompletely and not all of its hydrogens are released in the solution.
Though such weak acids are generally not as corrosive as [[strong acid]]s, that is not true for HF: it is extremely corrosive and can dissolve all metals but iridium. It's well known for its capability to solve glass, too.
