Default Which acid will dissolve ferrous metals but not brass?

Hey all,

A friend has snapped a #71 drill bit in a brass fitiing. Anybody know
which acid will dissolve ferrous metals but not brass? Don't know if
it matters, but until the broken bit is removed, it's a "blind hole".

Thanks for any comments.
