	Bessemer process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron.
		Bessemer had moved his Bessemer Steel Company to Sheffield to be at the heart of the industry.
		Bessemer converters did not remove phosphorous efficiently from the molten steel; as low-phosporous ores became more expensive, conversion costs increased.

	Lemelson-MIT Program
		Bessemer, who was mostly self-educated, made his first fortune with an idea for using brass as a paint additive to produce a bronze-colored powder that could be used for dÈcor in place of gold.
		When Napoleon himself expressed interest during a dinner with Bessemer in Paris, he was encouraged, but first he needed to come up with a way to mass produce structural steel that he could use to create sturdier gun barrels to support these heavy shells.
		Shortly after introducing the Bessemer Converter, Bessemer established Henry Bessemer and Co. to manufacture steel and was able to undersell nearly all competitors.

	Bessemer - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Bessemer
		The town is named after Henry Bessemer, the inventor of the Bessemer process of steelmaking.
		Just as the click of the reaper means bread, and the purr of the sewing-machine means clothes, and the roar of the Bessemer converter means steel, and the rattle of the press means education, so the ring of the telephone bell has come to mean unity and organization.
		He was taken to the Bessemer furnace, where they made billets of steel--a domelike building, the size of a big theater.

	Ships & Steel - From Small Beginnings
		Bessemer was the youngest son of Anthony Bessemer, a Frenchman who had come to this country at the time of the French Revolution, and was a man of inventive genius who had been employed at the Mint.
		A Bessemer convertor was set up, but to the surprise' of everybody the metal produced turned out to be completely useless, so that the invention which was at first received with triumph was, two months later, declared to be impracticable.
		Bessemer found, however, that if he wanted to make his success assured it was necessary for him to erect works himself, rather than rely on licencees, whose works were not under his control, and he therefore bought land adjacent to the North department of John Brown’s works in Sheffield.

	Sheffield
		In 1856, Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) introduced a new method of producing steel, using a special furnace called a convertor.
		The Bessemer process was able to produce much larger quantities of refined steel than the crucible process.
		John Brown quickly recognised the importance of Bessemer's process and obtained a licence to use it for the production of steel rails.

		The furnace of claim 3 in which said nozzle opening includes a liquid-cooled jacket surrounding said conical metal shell of the nozzle and from which the shell is removable.
		A recently developed metallurgical furnace intended for finishing a semi-finished steel melt, has a contour generally resembling a Bessemer convertor and, like that convertor, is made so that it can be tilted between the vertical and horizontal positions.
		However, it is intended for finishing operations requiring the addition of heat while the melt is being dephosphorized or the like, as contrasted to the Bessemer convertor's function of converting blast-furnace iron to steel.

	Chapter 11 The genesis of the Bessemer process
		In one case the trial of a diminished area of tuyére openings resulted in nearly the whole charge of metal, after more than an hour's blowing, being converted into a solid mass of brittle white iron, similar to ordinary refiner's plate metal.
		Indeed, I may say the result of all my early investigations proved to me, beyond the possibility of a doubt, a fact which has since been confirmed in every Bessemer steel works throughout Europe and America, viz.: that rapidity of action, ending in a violent eruption, is an absolutely necessary condition of success.
		All of these were allowed, either personally or by their managers, to see their own iron converted prior to their taking a licence.

		In 1898 the estate covered 40 acres: there were two imposing houses, Bessemer House itself, which was designed by Charles Barry junior, and Bessemer Grange (built for Sir Henry's daughter) in addition to a model farm, underground caverns, and an observatory which housed the second largest telescope in the world.
		The Bessemer Process Sir Henry was a prolific inventor (he took out 144 patents), but it is for the Bessemer Convertor for producing steel from pig iron that he is best remembered.
		To coincide with the centenary of his death, Bessemer Grange Schools aim to create a centre of excellence for the promotion of design and technology (the Bessemer Connection) on the site of Sir Henry's Denmark Hill estate.
