Memoir and Letters of Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, Inventor (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life and inventions of Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, an innovator whose work had a profound impact on the development of the steel industry. Born into a family of Welsh descent, Thomas's intelligence manifested itself early, and he pursued interests in science and engineering throughout his childhood. Despite a promising academic career, financial constraints forced him into a position as a police court clerk at the age of seventeen. Thomas's resilience and passion for scientific inquiry led him to continue studying chemistry in his spare time, attending evening classes at the Birkbeck Institute. Inspired by a lecture on the need for dephosphorization in the Bessemer process, Thomas embarked on a quest to solve this problem, experimenting tirelessly until he stumbled upon a groundbreaking technique in 1878. His basic process, which used a basic lining in the converter, effectively removed phosphorus from molten iron. This discovery revolutionized steelmaking, enabling the production of high-quality steel from ores previously considered unusable and transformed the global steel industry.
