Section Biography: Chronology of the metallographic observations disputed on 28 August 2018: Problem solved on 5 June 2023 and dispute template removed
<-- ! Disputed section | date=August 2018 ! Hiding this template for two reasons: (1) on 3 June 2023, there is no visible traces of discussion on the talk page, and (2) this template is placed in the middle of the section and not at its top as it would be expected. In fact, on 28 August 2018, an anonymous IP editor put this template there because of a question of inexact chronology with the patents filed by Bessemer and Mushet respectively in 1855 and 1856, thus before the publication date in 1863 of the work of Sorby dealing with his metallographical observations. So, Sorby's work did not pave the way of Bessemer and Mushet patents. This has been corrected on 05 June 2023.

See the Revision as of 17:03, 28 August 2018 by 2602:30a:c0a2:8810::49 (The Bessemer process was first Patented in 1855, and Mushet's improvement in 1856, ie before 1863, so there was no "paving the way" to this process by Sorby). See here: Special:Diff/856945661, or. Dispute fixed on 05 June 2023. Hidden comment ready to be removed -->


 * Text corrected:

In 1863, he used etching with acid to study the microscopic structure of iron and steel. Using this technique, he was the first in England to understand that a small but precise quantity of carbon gave steel its strength. His metallographic observations allowed to scientifically confirm the merits and the soundness of the method developed by Henry Bessemer and Robert Forester Mushet for mass-producing steel. Due to this accomplishment, Sorby is known to modern metallurgists as the "father of metallography", with an award bearing his name being offered by the International Metallographic Society for lifetime achievement.
