  1. Iron and Steel Period 3 Honors Amanda Fatovic Jaime Plitnick Kelly Cheung

  2. Famous People William Kelly Henry Bessemer Charles Goodyear Bessemer Process Rubber Vulcanizing

  3. Advancements and Improvements in Technology • More of Stronger Machinery • Iron smelteries discovered that the gases that coal released during the coke making process could be burned to give light. • Better steam-engines able to withstand higher pressures. (iron  steel) • Also became a part of transportation: Railroadsand Bridges • Helped make industries BIG. • Production of rubber created a new industry as well, rubber was first used to make waterproof shoes and coats  Goodyear cures the rubber • In the oil industry people discovered how to use crude oil to produce paraffin for candles and lubricating machinery even kerosene for lighting and heating

  4. What Britain had available • Iron ores were one of the strongest of the common resources. • Stable Government/Economy. • Iron  Steel. Using the process of forcing air into burning molten iron to burn out the carbon and impurities. • Innovative Thinkers. • The Demand for more machinery (made of iron or steel).

  5. Impact on Britain • More Machinery • Improved Technology • More Industries • Mass Production (more products) • “Easier Life” • Ideas and technology will spread throughout country (advanced country).

  6. Impact on other Countries • More products for trade (mass production) for the countries to purchase. • Transfer of ideas can cause them to have machines and mass production also. • Attracting people to work in factories. • Industrial Revolution spreading to other countries (Ex. How Samuel Slater brought it to the U.S.)

  7. Why We’re Better • Iron and Steel are strong and were very available (had large amounts of it). • Iron and steel could be molded into almost whatever you need. (Eventually Leading To more Inventions) • Could help in reinforcement, transportation, structures, etc. • Is the main material in machinery (a BIG part of the Industrial Revolution). • Without it the Industrial Revolution wouldn’t have happened. (Inventors had nothing to build on). • Helped build Industries.
