How does the bessemer process help today?
In 1856 Bessemer first described the process to a meeting of the British Association in Cheltenham which he titled “The Manufacture of Iron without Fuel.” It is now known as the Bessemer process. Many industries were frustrated by the lack of steel, relying only on cast iron and wrought iron alone. They made railway structures such as bridges and tracks. There had been many accidents when cast iron beams suddenly collapsing. Because of this invention, the cost of production of steel was lowered and also they became stronger and more stabled. So after this invention, the damages caused by unstable steels went became much fewer.
