Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Bessemer process allowed steel to be produced without fuel, using the impurities of the iron to create the necessary heat. This drastically reduced the costs of steel production, but raw materials with the required characteristics could be difficult to find.
Detailed explanation-2: -The method devised by Bessemer removed the impurities from the iron thanks to a process of oxidation of the air, obtaining a more resistant steel much more quickly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bessemer process, the first method discovered for mass-producing steel. Though named after Sir Henry Bessemer of England, the process evolved from the contributions of many investigators before it could be used on a broad commercial basis.
