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. The process was independently discovered in 1851 by William Kelly. The process had also been used outside of Europe for hundreds of years, but not on an industrial scale. 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.
Henry Bessemer
Henry Bessemer invented a process to manufacture steel.
Henry Bessemer.
The Bessemer process revolutionised society by drastically cutting the price of steel production. Steel became so inexpensive that its use was widespread.
It was discovered by Henry Bessemer and patented in Great Britain in 1855. It was also independently discovered by William Kelly in 1851 in Kentucky.
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.
The bessemer process was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer.
The Bessemer process created steel.
The Bessemer process decreased the money and labor needed to make steel.
The Brooklyn Bridge is made of steel. The Bessemer process made steel affordable.
It was called the Bessemer Process.

Henry Bessemer
The Bessemer process, developed by British inventor Henry Bessemer, enabled steel to be produced more efficiently

No, he did not, but he did invent the Bessemer Process, which was a cheaper and more efficient way of making 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.
