The regenerative furnaceis the greatest single invention of Charles William Siemens, using a process known as the Siemens-Martin process. The electric pyrometer, which is perhaps the most elegant and original of all William Siemens's inventions, is also the link which connects his electrical with his metallurgical researches. Bessemer’s invention reduced the price of steel from 70 pounds to 10 pounds per ton. Hot on his heels was Charles William Siemens, who was a naturalised British subject, born in Germany, who invented the Open Hearth Furnace for steelmaking; both methods were implemented and within a matter of twenty years steel had supplanted wrought iron as. Siemens, Sir (Charles) William — orig. Karl Wilhelm Siemens born April 4, 1823, Lenthe, Prussia died Nov. 19, 1883, London, Eng. German born British engineer and inventor. He immigrated to Britain in 1844.
