Your question is too broad, Mr. Patel. You haven't said anything at all about the process yet except that it doesn't work because it causes corrosion. What type of parts, what type of stainless steel, what pickling acid, what temperature, what immersion time. With complete information someone may be able tohazard a guess at likely causes.
