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.

What did Henry bessemer do?
Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer Converter
The process of combining iron with other metals to create a lighter non-rusting material was discovered by who?
Henry bessemer
Without the Bessemer process Americans might not have been able to create?
the morse code
How did the bessemer process effect workers?
because workers used steel to build skyscrapes(tall buildings) and rails,which allowed new business to be created.
What are the advantages of the bessemer process?
In October, 1855, Bessemer took out a patent for his process of rendering cast iron malleable by the introduction of air into the fluid metal to remove carbon. Bessemer's industrial process was similar to a Chinese method to refine iron into steel, developed in the second century BCE. They called this process the "hundred refinings method" since they repeated the process 100 times.
What did the Bessemer process encourage?
The Bessemer process, developed by British inventor Henry Bessemer, enabled steel to be produced more efficiently
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.
Who invented the bessemer process?
The bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
Where was the bessemer steel process invented?
The bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
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.
What was a process for making high quality steel efficiently and cheaply?
It was called the Bessemer Process.
Who was responsible for patenting the process for converting iron into steel?
Henry Bessemer
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).
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?
Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer Converter
What role did the bessemer process have on the steel industry?
The Bessemer process decreased the money and labor needed to make steel.
How did the Bessemer process suspension bridges possible?
The Bessemer process produced the lightweight steel needed to build a suspension bridge.
