I know it has limestone, iron ore and carbon. unless it doesn‘t, in which case do tell :)Just need to know what else.
it totally depends on the steel you wish to make. you can use nothing but carbon and iron if you wanted. Japanese tamahagane(sword steel) is made from nothing but charcoal and iron ore in the form of sand. a hot fire is made and then iron is added to the top as it burns down the carbon mixes with the iron and dissolves. there are many different recipes for different foundry's in different times. other alloying agents added to steel range from manganese to vanadium to silicon and many others.
Steel - Raw Materials The three raw materials used in making pig iron (which is the raw material needed to make steel) are the processed iron ore, coke (residue left after
processed iron ore, coke and limestone
