How did the Kelly Bessemer process help make iron and steel production better?
It mixed impurities in the iron ore enough to eliminate the problem of weakening.
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.
The purpose of the bessemer-kelly process was to?
I believe that his purpose was to turn iron into steel (not positive)
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.
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.
Who developed a process for making better and less expensive iron?
Henry Bessemer
Who was responsible for patenting the process for converting iron into steel?
Henry Bessemer
How did Bessemer allow better use of iron ore?
This technique involved injecting air into molten iron to remove the carbon and other impurities.
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 is the name of the process of transforming iron into steel?
bessemer process
How did the Kelly Bessemer process help make iron and steel production better?

Where did the bessemer process take place?
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.
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.
Did bessemer process have pollution?
The Bessemer process to convert iron to steel used air to burn carbon out of the iron. This resulted in air emissions of carbon dioxide and particulates and solid waste (slag)
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.
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.
The process of combining iron with other metals to create a lighter non-rusting material was discovered by who?
Henry bessemer
