Steel gauntlets
Steel gauntlets is a tier 20 free-to-play item worn in the hands slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 100 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Steel gauntlets is to buy it: Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock sells it for 1,680 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 75 Smithing XP, using Steel bar. Where the materials come from: Steel bar (made with 20 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Steel bar and gives 750 Smithing XP. Reaching level 20 Smithing takes 4,470 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Steel gauntlets: Steel gauntlets + 1. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Steel gauntlets 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 100 coins, which is 1,580 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
