How did the steel processing change affect the US?
made stuff faster
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 does the invention of the bessemer process lead to the rapid development of railroads in the US?
Good steel became cheap. Trains run on steel rails. Miles and miles and miles of them.
How did the change of trade affect the US economic standing?
Abraham Lincoln
How does gas affect us?
Greenhouse gas is adding to global warming and climate change.
How could climate change affect us?
if its too hot we burn and if its too cold we freeze
How did steel change America?
The bessamer process increased the quality of steel. This increased the viability of the use of steel for manufacturing and transportation--builiding bridges and railways. The railways, especially, impacted the US by increasing trade and making it easier to get goods to market.
Industry affected when Andrew Carnegie brought the bessemer process to us?
It affected the steel and railroad industry. Iron was the main foundation of railroads and when the Bessemer process created massed produced amounts of steel, the railroad industry greatly increased to. The carbon in the iron in the older railroads made the foundation of those railroads brittle and not as sturdy as steel, the steel became an asset to railroad creation. The Bessemer process burns off the carbon in the iron, thus creating steel. This process made steel cheaper, and the people of the steel industry were positively affected because the people in the railroad industry wanted the steel for better rails. The railroad industry was positively affected because now it was safer and stronger. They can earn more money because there are less accidents and can ship more at one time.
Who bought Carnegie's steel company?
US Steel
What was the old symbol for US Steel Corp?
The ticker symbol for US Steel Corp was X. US Steel was founded by JP Morgan and Elbert Gary in 1901.
Who did the bessemer steel process help?
Steel gave us the ability to make very tall buildings because the skeleton of a building is made using steel allowing man to make skyscrapers. The use of skyscrapers also meant that there was a need for elevators. The Bessemer process reduced the cost of producing steel, and it fueled the industrial revolution in Europe. It allowed skyscrapers, bridges, railroads, large ships and other things to be made less expensively. One version of the Bessemer process helped farmers since phosphates were a byproduct.
What is US Steel's population?
U.S. Steel's population is 42,000.
