How did invention of the bessemer process affect railroads?
Railroads use a LOT of steel. The Bessemer process reduced the cost of making good quality steel. That meant that railroads could afford to buy the rails to build more tracks to more places.
The bessemer process inproved the manufacture of what?
The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron before the development of the open hearth furnace.
Where was the bessemer steel process invented?
The bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
What methods of making steel changed the steel industry?
the bessemer process and the open-heart process(:
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.

How did the invention of the Bessemer process affect transportation?
By producing more steel, The Bessemer Process allowed more bridges and railways to be built.
Which industry expanded as a result of the invention of the bessemer process?
railroad
What innovation or invention suspension bridges possible?
The Bessemer process
Did Andrew carnegie create the bessemer process?
No. Sir Henry Bessemer a British ( 1856) inventor patented the process by which molten pig iron disturbed by a current of air is turned directly into steel. Carnegie created the largest steel and iron works in America in the late 1860's using the Bessemer process. The invention of the Bessemer process was one of the things that led to the industrial revolution. It contributed to the railroads, the construction of tall buildings, and steel hull ships.
How did the development of the Bessemer process affect the growth of cities?
How are urbanization and Bessemer processes related
What invention made steel production cheaper and easier?
The bessemer process.
What did the development of the Bessemer process do to the cities of Gary Cleveland and Pittsburgh?
The Bessemer Process made Gary, Cleveland and Pittsburgh centers of steel manufacturing.
What industry expanded because of the invention of the Bessemer process?
The iron and steel industry. Heavy engineering in general.
Who invented the bessemer process?
The bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
The bessemer process inproved the manufacture of what?
The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron before the development of the open hearth furnace.
What innovations did the Bessemer process encourage?
The steel industry benefited from the development of the Bessemer process. It was the steel industryâ??s first low cost process for mass production prior to the open hearth furnace. Named after inventor, Henry Bessemer who patented the industrial process. it had been used outside Europe for hundreds of years, just not on an industrial basis.
