The Bessemer process allowed for increased production capacity of steel, decreasing its cost substantially. Before the process was put into practice, steel was too expensive to make bridges and buildings from. So skyscrapers and other large structures have the Bessemer process to thank for their advancement. However, quality issues such as brittleness took away from the viability of steel created in this fashion.
Additionally, steel railroad rails lasted ten times longer than iron ones, so now that steel was affordable railroads would last longer and they could carry much heavier trains.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 did the Bessemer process use fuel steel production?
It made making steel more afordable, so in that case you could produce more steel for things that were needed.
Who is Bessemer city name after?
Mr Henry Bessemer invented an inexpensive convertor to make steel from iron. Mr Carnegie made a fortune using Bessemer convertors to make steel for rail road tracks. Whoops, I just forgot who the steel making city using Mr Bessemer's convertor was named after.
Industry affected when Andrew Carnegie brought the bessemer process to us?
It affected the steel and railroad industry. Iron was the main foundation of railroads and when the Bessemer process created massed produced amounts of steel, the railroad industry greatly increased to. The carbon in the iron in the older railroads made the foundation of those railroads brittle and not as sturdy as steel, the steel became an asset to railroad creation. The Bessemer process burns off the carbon in the iron, thus creating steel. This process made steel cheaper, and the people of the steel industry were positively affected because the people in the railroad industry wanted the steel for better rails. The railroad industry was positively affected because now it was safer and stronger. They can earn more money because there are less accidents and can ship more at one time.
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.

Is it true that the Bessemer process played a large role in the building of the Brooklyn bridge?
The Brooklyn Bridge is made of steel. The Bessemer process made steel affordable.
What did the development of the Bessemer process do to the cities of Gary Cleveland and Pittsburgh?
The Bessemer Process made Gary, Cleveland and Pittsburgh centers of steel manufacturing.

Why was steel able to be used in bridge construction?
After 1856 the invention of the Bessemer process for producing steel by reducing the carbon content of iron made possible the incorporation of steel into bridge construction.
What effect did bessemer process have on American industry?
It made production of steel alot faster and easier
What impacted did the Bessemer process have?
The Bessemer process made steel more than 10x cheaper than before. It was also possible to scale this process up to huge quantities, and control quality much better than any previous process could. It was a wonder material. Before Bessemer, steel was a difficult material used in small quantities. Steel is much stronger than simple iron, it is harder, and does not rust as fast. It made stronger boilers and more accurate pistons for better steam engines. It made gears, levers, and all manner of other machinery tougher and long lasting. And it rails for railroads which were strong enough for fast trains and heavy freight while lasting for years before needing to be replaced. It made steel steamships possible, as well as suspension bridges and skyscrapers. Steam and coal powered the industrial revolution, but Bessemer steel was the stuff that it was made from.
