1877- elected him ino a fellowhsip
cannons were made of irons
he registered ore than 110 patents
compressed air was blown through the molten
holes at the bottom of the converter
was large pear shaped
phosporus floted to the top of the bessemer
converter drew the phosporus from the pig iron into the slag
discovered by adding basic material such as limestone
used for ; skyscrapers, railroades, bridges, elavators
led to invntions of the second industrial revolution
make pig iron for bessemer converters
enables the movement from the age of iron to the age of steel
making new inventions possible in the second industrial revolution
advanced with technological av=dvancement
brought into production by henry in 1860
pear shaped recepticle called a converter

method for making steel by blasting compressed air
molten iron to burn out excess carbon
steel been widely substituted for cast iron
wrought iron has a little carbon just enough to make it hard without losing its malleability
cast iron has a lot of carbon
cast iron is steel making it harder than wrought iron
fuel would be unneccessary after the iron was melted
fuel would be unneccessary after the iron mlted
an owner of an iron works at eddyville kentucky
phosphorus free ores were scarce
mskes steel brittle
did not remove phospuros from the pig iron
created in england
