Steel was expensive to make because of the difficulty of removing all the contaminants contained in iron ore. An American, William Kelly (1811-1888), solved this industrial dilemma . . .”

  6. What’s Really “Most Important”? “. . . Solved this industrial dilemma . . . by using a blast of air to ‘decarburize’ molten iron, converting it to steel quickly and cheaply. The Englishman Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1896), . . . bought out Kelly’s patent and further developed the process that still bears his name.”
