I am looking for a macroetchant for KOVAR that can be used with a minimum amount of ventilation
 
The following macroetchant is recommended for iron-nickel alloys, so it may be suitable for kovar:

50 mL saturated aqueous CuSO4
50 mL HCl

Swab or immerse at room temperature.

You may want to consider posting this question to the Ask the Experts section of the following website:


George Vander Voort, who used to work at Carpenter (manufacturer of Kovar), is an expert on metallography, and frequently responds to questions there.
