Bronze bar
Bronze bar is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 27 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Bronze bar is to buy it: Drogo's Mining Emporium in Asgarnia sells it for 46 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“A bronze bar. Used in Smithing (1) for production and training.”

Ironman verdict
At least 6 monsters drop it. The easiest is Dwarf (level 9, 7/128); the best rate is Rock slug (level 28), at 12/128, about one every 11 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Smithing and gives 1 Smithing XP, using Copper ore and Tin ore. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Dwarf, Box of summoning ingredients, Spirit impling and Spirit impling jar, plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Copper ore and 10 × Tin ore and gives 10 Smithing XP. 57 recipes use Bronze bar, including Bathysphere, Bronze 2h sword and Bronze armoured boots. Bronze bar is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 27 coins, which is 19 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
