Where did the bessemer process take place?

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.


What did Henry Bessemer do for the steel industry?

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.


What was the bessemer converter?

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.


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.

Who developed a procedure to produce steel cheaply and easily?

It is called the Bessemer process. Iron has particles in it and air is blown into the molten iron to get rid of the impurities in the iron. It becomes steel.


How did steel processing change in the 1850s?

Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer process a way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply by blasting hot air through melted iron to quickly remove impurities.
