Henry Bessemer

Henry Bessemer was born in the year 1813 and was an English engineer and inventor. One of his first inventions was a series of six power-steamed engines used to make brass powder used for gold paint. In 1856, Bessemer first described the Bessemer Process, for which he is most known for, to the British Association. He tried to make other companies use his process, but they refused, so Bessemer created his own steel mills and manufactured steel.
