What was the bessemer converter?
A revolutionary 19th century process to convert iron into high quality steel using a cauldron of molten iron and coke through which air was blown at high pressure and volume, oxidizing impurities and allowing the precise control of carbon content.
How did the bessemer process work?
Blasts of cold air were blow through heated iron to remove impurities. The result was much stronger more workable than steel.
The expansion of American the steel industry and railroads during the civil war was made possible mainly by?
The expansion of the American steel industry and railroads during the civil war was made possible by Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie was a Scottish American industrialists who is known for leading the steel industry expansion.
What was one the uses of high quality iron?
When Bessemer developed his method of making steel the use of iron ore grew and so did making railroads, multistory buildings, and bridges.
How does the US Government protect the steel industry in the US?

Industry affected when Andrew Carnegie brought the bessemer process to us?
It affected the steel and railroad industry. Iron was the main foundation of railroads and when the Bessemer process created massed produced amounts of steel, the railroad industry greatly increased to. The carbon in the iron in the older railroads made the foundation of those railroads brittle and not as sturdy as steel, the steel became an asset to railroad creation. The Bessemer process burns off the carbon in the iron, thus creating steel. This process made steel cheaper, and the people of the steel industry were positively affected because the people in the railroad industry wanted the steel for better rails. The railroad industry was positively affected because now it was safer and stronger. They can earn more money because there are less accidents and can ship more at one time.
What cause the steel industry to boom And why?
what caused the steelmaking industry to boom and why? The steel-making industry boomed mainly because of a new manufacturing technique called the Bessemer steel process. this allowed steel to be produced at a much faster pace allowing the industry to boom. :)
