What two methods of making steel changed the steel industry?
The Open Hearth Furnace and the Bessemer Process <- thanks veeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy mmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Developed cheap manufacturing process for making steel?
Henry Bessemer
When was the Open Hearth Furnace invented?
In 1865, the French engineer Pierre-Émile Martin took out a license from Siemens and first applied his furnace for making steel. Their process was known as the Siemens-Martin process, and the furnace as an "open-hearth" furnace.
What new methods were developed for the large-scale production of durable steel?
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.
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.
Developed a cheap and effective manufacturing process for making steel?
Andrew Carnegie and/or Henry Bessemer
What innovations did the Bessemer process encourage?
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 is the secondary steel making process?
It is a steel making stage in whice steel refined and different elements are added in it.
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.
How the open hearth process became obsolete?
Because of small termal efficiency, high prices of oil, long duration of process,.... Today steel is mainly made by electric arc furnace and by converters. Converters use only oxygen for refining blast furnace iron. Electric arc furnaces can melt scrap steel much faster than in the old open hearth furnaces. Much of disadvantages of open hearth furnaces are solved in electric arc furnaces and converters. Open hearth furnaces can't melt high quality alloy steels, but they can melt very good quality construction steels. They are still in use by Russians about 30% and Ukrainians 50% and other former soviet countries. The open hearth furnaces was more then a century the symbol of a steel making.
What is the Beseemer process?
The beseemer process is an inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron prior to an open hearth furnace. This process is named after it's inventor Henry Beseemer.
What was a way of making steel quickly?
The Bessemer process
