The Bessemer process was the first industrial process for the mass production of steel. It started with molten pig iron before the open hearth furnace. The most important thing to remember about this is that it removes all of the impurities that is in the iron. This happens through a process of oxidation when air is being blown through the molten iron. Since this process began buildings and other tall structures were able to be built because this is a strong substance. "Bessemer Converter." //Wikipedia//. Wikimedia Foundation. Web. 7 Oct. 2015. .
