Does anyone have any fairly comprehensive etchant databases, or recommend where to find one for free? I'm only interested in macroetching..
This one looks decent:
http://www.kaker.com/etch/overview/overview.html
But its $200 to download. Any alternatives? I have a book available to me on metallographic preparation, and this has all sorts of grinding,
electropolishing, and wet-etching instructions, but it doesnt cover any real alloys, only pure metals and metals with small amounts of other
components.

Check gigapedia. There is a book called "ASM Handbook, Volume 9: Metallography And Microstructures". It's free.
