Steel development has been ongoing for generations and has enabled steel to play an important role in modern society. We might consider that metallurgists are often unsung heroes of this progress where product and process development have enabled technological progress, and steel developments are occurring faster than ever in some areas today. Last year’s Bessemer lecture links the speaker’s background with Bessemer Award history, and celebrates some of the heroes of steel product development that have impacted him, and have also impacted society and the development of the steel industry.
