\Krupp process\ (Iron Metal.)
(a) A process practiced by Friedrich Krupp, Essen, Germany,
    for washing pig iron, differing from the Bell process in
    using manganese as well as iron oxide, and performed in a
    Pernot furnace. Called also the {Bell-Krupp process}.
(b) A process for the manufacture of steel armor plates,
    invented or practiced by Krupp, the details of which are
