Carbon and Iron.....usually.
Carbon from coal, Iron from iron ore, Calcium from limestone, Oxygen from compressed O2.
It depends on the type of steel that you want. For example- A cold drawn carbon steel spring wire consists of Carbon,Silicon,Manganese,sulphur potassium. If you want to make an alloy steel you can also add chrome,vanadium , nickel etc. It depends on the combinations and percentages of each used.
