George Reginald Bashforth (18 January 1903 – 1982) was an English metallurgist, academic, and author, primarily reputed for his work in India. He published numerous textbooks, including the various volumes of The Manufacture Of Iron And Steel.[1][2][3] Additionally, he was a member of the National Metallurgical Laboratory, subsequent to his brief tenure as a professor in Banaras Hindu University, during which he invented a functioning prototype of the basic oxygen furnace.[4][5][6]
In 1925, before the Sheffield University Metallurgical Society, Bashforth presented a paper concerned with "the reactions involved in the removal of impurities in the basic open-hearth process."[7]
