The process of decarbonising the pig iron completely and then adding proper percentage of carbon for manufacturing steel, is called
A. Cementation process
B. Crucible process
C. Bessemer process
D. Open hearth process
Answer: Option A
This Question Belongs to Civil Engineering >> Building Materials
It should be Bessemer Process
In the Bessemer process, air is blown through molten pig iron. This oxidizes and removes (decarbonizes) the carbon and other impurities completely. After that, a controlled amount of carbon is added back to obtain steel with the desired carbon content.
It is Bessemer process.
