In 1858, Sir Henry Bessemer developed a process of steel making by blowing hot air through liquid pig iron to reduce the carbon content.

Sir Henry Bessemer had invented the furnace which allowed the high carbon content of pig iron to be burnt away in a controlled and rapid way.

Steel is often cited as the first of several new areas for industrial mass-production, which are said to characterise a " Second Industrial Revolution ", beginning around 1850, although a method for mass manufacture of steel was not invented until the 1860s, when Sir Henry Bessemer invented a new furnace which could convert wrought iron into steel in large quantities.

The success and growth of Carnegie Steel was attributed to Henry Bessemer, inventor of the Bessemer Process.

* January 19 – Sir Henry Bessemer, English inventor ( d. 1898 )

* October 17 – Henry Bessemer files his patent in the United Kingdom for the Bessemer process of steelmaking.

The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855.

Sir Henry Bessemer described the origin of his invention in Chapters 10 and 11 of his autobiography.

Henry Bessemer

Sir Henry Bessemer ( 19 January 1813 – 15 March 1898 ) was an English engineer, inventor, and businessman.

The invention from which Henry Bessemer made his first fortune was a series of six steam-powered machines for making bronze powder.

Henry Bessemer worked on the problem of manufacturing cheap steel for the purposes of ordnance production from 1850 to 1855 when he patented his method.

At first the output was insignificant, but gradually the magnitude of the operations was enlarged until the competition became effective, and steel traders generally became aware that the firm of Henry Bessemer & Co. was underselling them to the extent of UK £ 10 -£ 15 a ton.

W M Lord has said with regard to this success that " Sir Henry Bessemer was somewhat exceptional.

In 2009, the public house " The Fountain " in Sheffield City Centre was renamed " The Bessemer ", in homage to Henry Bessemer who had a huge impact on the Steel City's development.
