Abstract
MR. BESSEMER has lately patented a method of conducting his process of converting cast-iron into steel under pressure, in order to raise the temperature of the metal during the process of conversion, and to obviate the inconvenience experienced when certain of the purer qualities of Swedish pig-iron made with charcoal, and also some of the less grey and the white hematite pig-irons of this country, when treated by the ordinary process, do not produce sufficient heat in the converting vessel to allow all the steel made from them to retain complete fluidity until it is poured into moulds.
