Steel ore box
Steel ore box is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 201 coins. No shop sells Steel ore box and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 150 Smithing XP, using Iron ore box and 2 × Steel bar.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Iron ore box (made with 10 Smithing); Steel bar (made with 20 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Iron ore box and 20 × Steel bar and gives 1,500 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 ore box: Mithril ore box. Steel ore box 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 201 coins.
