Answer:

The Bessemer process is a method that can be used to produce large amount of steel at a significantly lower cost. This process is aimed to remove the impurities from the iron through oxidation process. First, they melt the iron with heat and put it into a furnace. After that, They blow the molten iron with cold air and make it harden into steel.

Example of new products created with steel:

- Steel Cable, Which is used as power transmitter in automobile products.

- Galvanized steel, which used as a coating for other metals in order to prevent them from rusting.
