Piece description from the artist
The Thomas Konverter, also known as the Thomas Pear was used in the production of steel using the Thomas-Gilchrist process. The Thomas process (also called the basic wind freshening process ) is a so-called blowing or wind freshening process in which air is blown into the liquid pig iron through floor nozzles of the converter (steel production), the Thomas pear.
In this process, the oxidation process , which lowers the carbon content ( refining ), provided enough heat to keep the steel liquid, so external heat supply was not necessary in the converters.
The Thomas pear was lined with an alkaline dolomite stone or dolomite tar mixture and was particularly suitable for processing phosphorus-rich iron.
I'm a part time photographer based in Wisconsin. I enjoy all types of photography, especially long exposures, landscapes and architectural shots.
I also enjoy the social side of the photography hobby. I love to organize and participate in photowalks and to pass on to others what I know about photography, and also learn from them as well.
When I'm not out chasing sunsets, doing photowalks or shooting pictures of just about anything, I work in Information Technology.
