The Bessemer steel converter is a large container in which molten iron is converted into steel. The Bessemer steel converter was invented by Henry Bessemer in 1856.
That would be Henry Bessemer, inventor of the Bessemer Converter which allowed the processing of Steel on an industrial scale. The process involves the removal of impurities (an important factor in Steel manufacture) through oxidation.
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 bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
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.

The Bessemer converter removes impurities from pig iron and produces steel.
The Bessemer Steel Converter in Operation - 1902 was released on: USA: April 1902

i dont know? sorry!
Answer Henry Bessemer invented The Bessemer Process or Converter. This was a cheaper and more efficient method of making steel.
The Bessemer converter was patented in 1855.
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.
Iron when extracted from ore is a mixture of carbon and iron. This is very brittle and shatters easily. The Bessemer converter removed the carbon by flushing molten iron with oxygen, thereby removing the carbon and yielding soft iron. The carbon content could then be adjusted creating steel, which can then be tempered to a required hardness. The Bessemer converter made steel possible and permitted major engineering advances.
It sped up the production time of making steel and made it easier to produce more products.
