Question

why was the development of the Bessemer process important? HELP

Answer 1

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron prior to the open hearth furnace. 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.

Answer 3

The Bessemer process is important because prior to it, steel was a rare and expensive metal found in the earth. It had many uses, but because it was so expensive, it wasn't used very often. The Bessemer process is the process of blowing hot air through molten iron to blow out impurities and create steel. This created a cheap and efficient way to make steel, which opened up doors throughout the industrial world to utilize steel. As soon as steel became much cheaper and easier to obtain, we started building skyscrapers and other infrastructure and our cities benefited immensely. This also lead the Andrew Carnegie becoming one of the richest men in America because of his steel monopoly.
