There is a very simple, yet specific way to clean beryllium copper. This process is also the only way it can be prepared for fusion (to another piece of beryllium copper). You must first clean the material to remove all dirt, grease etc... with an alkaline soap/ water mixture and let dry. Then for the actual refurbishing of the metal use a water based solution at 120-140 degrees F; combine 20-25% sulfuric acid, and 3% hydrogen peroxide. Allow to soak until desired color is restored, this process usually takes no more than 15 to 20 seconds at the most so be cautious.
If you are a golfer like myself (who happens to be a scientist as well) then please be aware that cleaning your club heads as stated above actually reduces the effectiveness of the club for playability. After all this metal was not only chosen for it's softness for feedback, but the fact that it does oxidate over time which imparts much more spin on the ball. You would be wise to live with the appearance, and just clean them in the fashion you would any other set of irons. If you really want them to shine try soaking them in a bucket with a 2 litre bottle of Coca-Cola in it first. If that's not good enough, then use the above method as it will not actually damage the metal to my knowledge provided you follow the 15-20 second rule above.

How do you make beryllium copper alloy?
By melting together copper and beryllium.
What is cost of beryllium copper?
The density of beryllium 1,850 kg/m³ or 1.85 g/cm³. The SI density standard is kg/m³.
What is difference between berrilyum copper and copper?
Copper is just that pure copper. Beryllium copper also known as copper beryllium, beryllium bronze and spring copper, is a copper alloy with .5 to 3% beryllium and sometimes with other alloying elements. Beryllium copper combines high-strength with non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. It has excellent metalworking, forming and machining qualities. It has many specialized applications in tools for hazardous environments, musical instruments, precision measuring devices, bullets, and aerospace.
What are some characteristics of a beryllium copper?
Beryllium Copper (BeCu) also called Spring Copper amongst other names, is a non-ferrous alloy of copper, meaning that it won't rust, that is of high strength (200,000psi). It is excellent for metalwork because of this natural strength and is also ductile, weldable and machinable. Furthermore, it can be heat-treated to improve its durability and strength. It is hazardous to breathe in whilst processing it since the Beryllium-based dust and vapor is toxic.
How can we clean copper oxide?
Copper oxides are soluble in acids.

How can you tell if beryllium copper is cadmium plated?
If the Cadmium plating contains Chromium, it will impart an iridescent appearance to the beryllium copper.

What kind on musical instrument is triangle?
Musical triangles are typically made out of Copper 2 beryllium (w1/2hp). Beryllium copper is one of the most resonant materials to make musical instruments out of -- also typically used in tambourines.
What is an advertising slogan for beryllium?
Beryllium: It passes x-rays, reflects neutrons is light, rigid and really toxic.
Who makes beryllium copper golf clubs?
Nobody makes these anymore. beryllium in dust form causes all kinds of health problems...very toxic. PING used to make them; they made them "famous". Due to a softer feel, but a more dense and harder iron, these things were the craze in the 80's and early 90's. Several other companied followed suit in producing beryllium copper golf clubs at the time. Nobody makes beryllium copper clubs anymore - thanks EPA....
Who previously made beryllium copper golf clubs for Natural Golf?
Ping made them at one time.
