By blowing air through the molten pig iron. By adding oxygen to the iron it removed impurities which escape as gas or form a solid slag

Who invented the process to make steel?
Henry Bessemer.
How did the Bessemer make suspension bridges possible?
The Bessemer process produced the lightweight steel needed to build a suspension bridge.
Who came up with a cheaper and faster way to make steel?
Steel was first used in the 13th century BC. In 1740 crucible steel technique was developed by Benjamin Huntsman. In 1856 Henry Bessemer developed the "basic oxygen converter" to make steel. Andrew Carnegie didn't really improve the production, he knew how to invest his money and he did it in the steel industry. He used Bessemer methods on a very wide scale and he also used his money and influence to control the manufacturing of steel.
How did Andrew Carnegie make steel?
Andrew Carnegie used the Bessemer process to make steel. This method made steel making both very cheap and very efficient.
What is the main constituent metal in mild steel?
The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel. The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel.
What did Henry Bessemer do for the steel industry?
Henry Bessemer developed a way to make steel by melting and burning pig iron. Pig iron is the result of mining and refining iron ore. Before steel, he worked with glass, but his glass making process was not practical.
Who is Bessemer city name after?
Mr Henry Bessemer invented an inexpensive convertor to make steel from iron. Mr Carnegie made a fortune using Bessemer convertors to make steel for rail road tracks. Whoops, I just forgot who the steel making city using Mr Bessemer's convertor was named after.
What metal did Henry Bessemer invent a cheaper way to make?
Steel. He figured out that if air was blown into the molten iron it would remove the particles that were impurities in the iron. This made steel.
Who invented the process to make steel?
Henry Bessemer.
What contribution did Henry Bessemer make to the steel industry?
Cheaper way to make steel
What did Henry Bessmer invent?
The method to make steel. The Bessemer method blows air into the hot iron ore to remove the impurities from the ore and this makes steel.
Who made a low cost way to make steel during the Industrial Revolution?
Who made a low cost to make steel please help me SOON !!! Henry Bessemer
What did Henry bessemer invent?
Answer Henry Bessemer invented The Bessemer Process or Converter. This was a cheaper and more efficient method of making steel.
What is the Bessemer Machine?
It isn't so much a machine. It is a method. It is used to make iron into steel. Iron has impurities and Bessemer found out that if you pump air into the iron it removes the impurities and it becomes steel.
Who helped make steel a major industry in the US?
Henry Bessemer
What did William Kelly and Henry Bessemer invent?
they invented the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventors, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. 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 did bessemer process do?
burn off excess carbon from cast iron to make carbon steel.
