About Joseph Hall
Joseph Hall (1789–1862), the inventor of 'Wet Puddling', was born in 1789 and apprenticed in 1806 as a puddler to use Henry Cort's puddling process. He tried adding old iron to the charge of the puddling furnace and later puddler's bosh cinder to the charge. This caused the charge to boil violently. When this subsided he gathered the iron into a puddle ball in the usual way, and this proved to be good iron.
