  1. Industrialization 1865-1901 “The Second Industrial Revolution”

  2. Bessemer Process Bessemer converter is a pear-shaped furnace, 20 feet high and 10 feet in diameter. It is made of steel plates and is lined inside with brick to resist heat. There are number of holes at the base, called tuyeres, for air circulation. The converter can be rotated on a horizontal central axis. Process The Bessemer converter is turned into a horizontal position and molten pig iron is poured into it. A blast of hot air is sent through the tuyeres. The converter is rotated so that it is vertical and hot air is blown continuously. In its upward travel through the converter, the air oxidises the impurities in pig iron.
