The purpose of the bessemer-kelly process was to?
I believe that his purpose was to turn iron into steel (not positive)
Who was the Us iron master who devised a purification process for the manufacture of steel?
It was Sir Henry Bessemer who patented the process in 1856 to take pig iron disturbed by a current of air to turn it directly into steel. Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant, was able to use the Bessemer process in his steel mills after the civil war to create the largest iron/steel works in America.
How did the kelly-Bessemer process help iron and steel production better?
It mixed impurities in the iron ore enough to eliminate the problem of weakening.
What new methods were developed for the large scale production of durable steel?
The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The process was independently discovered in 1851 by William Kelly.

Who invented Steel (Bessemer Process)?
It was invented in 1851 by William Kelly but was was independently invented by Henry Bessemer in 1855 (and Bessemer took out a patent on the process).
Who developed a process for changing iron into steel?
Sir Henry Bessemer invented the furnace which was instrumental in making the steel manufacturing process more effective. But it was Andrew Carnegie who implemented the furnace in his steel plants along with a few other innovations which made the steel manufacturing process cheaper.

When was the Bessemer steel process discovered?
The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The process was independently discovered in 1851 by William Kelly. The process had also been used outside of Europe for hundreds of years, but not on an industrial scale. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.

What was the bessemer converter?
A revolutionary 19th century process to convert iron into high quality steel using a cauldron of molten iron and coke through which air was blown at high pressure and volume, oxidizing impurities and allowing the precise control of carbon content.
Improved method of converting iron to steel?

What key process led to the availability of steel?
I looked this up for you. The Bessemer process was the first affordable industrial process for the production of massive amounts of steel from molten pig iron prior to the open hearth furnace. The process is named after its inventor,Henry Bessemer, who had the process patented in 1855. The process was earlier discovered in 1851 by William Kelly. The process had been known and used outside of Europe in the past but not on an industrial scale. The key to the process is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation increases the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.
