Is the Bessemer converter still used today?

The Bessemer converter is largely obsolete in modern steelmaking due to advancements in technology. While it was revolutionary in the 19th century for converting pig iron into steel, contemporary methods like the basic oxygen process and electric arc furnaces are more efficient and environmentally friendly. However, the principles of the Bessemer process laid the groundwork for these later innovations. Today, the Bessemer converter is primarily of historical interest rather than practical use.
