The introduction of coke to the smelting process was a later development. Initially the Liege makers were up in arms because they felt it introduced silica and the barrels just did not look right to them. A long search ensued. They tried steel from every source they could. Eventually Cockerill, "the" maker of steel in Belgian, bent to their desires and changed. What forces were brought to bear on Cockerill is not clear. He certainly did not 'need' their business.
