Bessemer converter pouring steel into ladle   Save
YHCIL MSS0140 Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: In this photograph, steel is poured from a Bessemer converter into a ladle. This steel will be then poured into the ingot molds at the bottom of the photograph. Bessemer converters release oxygen gas through molten iron, which reacts with carbon and and other impurities to increase the quality of the steel, as well as producing a large flame. This photograph belongs to the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Audiovisual Archives, so its subject is likely located at a Youngstown plant. View on Ohio Memory.
