Mr. O’Quinn Mr. Collins Steel Converter

The Bessemer converter turns crude iron ore into high grade steel by introducing large amounts of oxygen to molten iron. The Bessemer converter is a large scale, oven-like mechanism used to purify iron ore Bessemer Converter

Organize with Sections Henry Bessemer Born on January 19 th, 1813 in Hertfordshire, England. His process for making steel was used until the mid-1900’s Died March 15 th,

Wanted a steel that could handle the weight of new artillery shells. Invented the steel process in 1854 during the Crimean War for Napoleon. British war department was not interested in his idea. Patented his process in 1856 in England. Bessemer Process

Importance Important for making weapons that produced higher temperatures. This process is not used today, but allowed us to come up with a more efficient process for producing high-grade steel. This innovation allowed our country to build upward. We have sky-scrappers, because of high-grade steel. s/TheLoop/SearsTower-010.jpg
