It revolutionized the steel industry by making the production of large quantities of high-quality steel faster and more economical. The process involves blowing air through molten pig iron to remove impurities and convert it into steel. This method led to a significant increase in steel production and played a crucial role in the industrialization of many countries. The Bessemer process was later improved upon by other techniques, but it remains a major milestone in the history of steelmaking.
