A revolutionary 19th century process to convert iron into high quality steel using a cauldron of molten iron and coke through which air was blown at high pressure and volume, oxidizing impurities and allowing the precise control of carbon content.
The Bessemer Process was a method in which iron could be cheaply and efficiently converted into steel. This process was perfected by William Kelly and Henry Bessemer.

Blasts of cold air were blow through heated iron to remove impurities. The result was much stronger more workable than steel.
When Bessemer developed his method of making steel the use of iron ore grew and so did making railroads, multistory buildings, and bridges.
Iron wasn't invented. It is an ore and comes from iron mines. Steel is made from iron using a process of heating the ore and then removing the impurities from the ore through blowing air through it. The man who came up with this process was named Bessemer and his method is still used today.
The Bessemer converter was patented in 1855.
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.
The Bessemer converter removes impurities from pig iron and produces steel.
Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer Converter
The Bessemer Steel Converter in Operation - 1902 was released on: USA: April 1902
In the year of 1855.

Answer Henry Bessemer invented The Bessemer Process or Converter. This was a cheaper and more efficient method of making steel.
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.
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 finally solved the answer to nuclear explosions and made people fly and turned zombies into humans
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.
