The Bessemer converter is a steelmaking process that converts pig iron into steel by blowing air through the molten iron to oxidize impurities. The diagram should depict the converter vessel, tuyères (air inlets), molten iron, and the resulting steel. As air is blown in, carbon and other impurities oxidize, producing heat and forming slag, which is removed. The end product is refined steel, characterized by lower carbon content and improved properties.
