Description: This photograph depicts a Bessemer converter pouring the finished molten steel into a ladle. Ladles hold and move molten steel. 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.
