Answer:
The Bessemer steel converter was a big egg-shaped container in which iron was melted to obtain steel.
Explanation:
The Bessemer Process was first introduced by the English inventor Henry Bessemer (1856). The main purpose of this process was to remove impurities from iron and obtain a mass production of steel, which was much stronger than iron. This steel was mainly used to enforce the railroads and to create stronger metal machinery. This invention shaped U. S. history forever because it was used not only for machinery and railroads but also for the production of weapons, ships and tools used in war. The American society went from the Iron Age to the Steel Age.
