Cort, Henry

Born 1740, in Lancaster; died May 23, 1800, in London. English metallurgist.

Cort’s father was a mason. In 1783, Cort obtained a patent for his invention of a method for rolling commercial steel by using special rollers. In 1784 he perfected puddling—the process of converting pig iron into wrought iron. Puddling played a major role in the development of English metallurgy during the indus-trial revolution.
