Bessemer+Process+of+Steel+Production+(1-5)

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. Bessemer converter and oxidation are the main two parts of the Bessemer process. The man who created this process was William Kelly in 1851. Four years later in 1855 a man by the name of Henry Bessemer took a patent out for the process. Henry Bessemer is known as the inventor of the Bessemer process but it was independently discovered by William Kelly.
