The Bessemer process, developed by Henry Bessemer in the 1850s, is primarily used in the steel industry. It revolutionized steel production by introducing a method to convert molten pig iron into steel by blowing air through it to remove impurities. This process importantly lowered costs and increased production efficiency, making steel more accessible for construction and manufacturing. The Bessemer process was pivotal in the Industrial Revolution, leading to the widespread use of steel in infrastructure, such as railways and buildings.
