The uncommonly known Bessemer process sparked a turning point in the 1850’s. A process designed to yield steel at a much faster rate allowed for a development in traditional structures‒bridges‚ buildings‚ and skyscrapers‒as well as advanced economic theory and practices and their relation to a successful business model. Revolutionaries such as Andrew Carnegie (a successful entrepreneur) and James Buchanan Eads (an engineer specializing in bridges) paved the way for practices and techniques still

1.1 Steel Manufacturing Process Steel production involves several processing stages including iron making‚ primary and secondary steel making‚ casting and hot rolling. These are followed by some of the following fabrication processes: cold rolling‚ forming‚ forging‚ joining‚ machining‚ coating and/or heat treatment. Steels can be made either from raw materials (e.g. iron ore‚ coal and limestone) or by recycling steel scrap. In response to the requirements of society‚ steel processing is
