What metal will corrode fast in acid

The time it takes for metal to corrode. I currently have to cunduct an experiment and I have a limited amount of time in which to conduct it so I was wondering which metal is the one that corrodes in acid the fastest so that I can finish my experiment in time.

Thanks

Zinc will corrde very quickly in acid. So, after you have dissolved the zinc into the acid, what is the experiment you are planning to conduct?
