What are the advantages of the bessemer process?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The bessemer process is important because prior to it, steel was a rare and expensive metal found in the earth. It had many uses, but because it was so expensive, it wasn't used very often. The Bessemer process is the process of blowing hot air through molten iron to blow out impurities and create steel. This created a cheap and efficient way to make steel, which opened up doors throughout the industrial world to utilize steel. As soon as steel became much cheaper and easier to obtain, we started building skyscrapers and other infastructure and our cities benefitted immensly. This also lead the Andrew Carnagie becoming one of the richest men in America because of his steel monopoly.

Answer 3

I am sorry but we don't know the list, but if steel is on it that is the answer.

Answer 4

it greatly reduced the cost of producing steel used in railroad construction

Answer 5

made high quality steel more affordable for railroad companies

Answer 6

What was the Bessemer steel process? How did the manufacturing of steel on a mass production level shape America

Answer 7

A faster and more affordable way of making steel, using air blown in through the iron that caused impurities to burn off.

Answer 8

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).

Answer 9

burn off excess carbon from cast iron to make carbon steel.
