When you go to the wikipedia page on corundrum, it says "Not to be confused with carborundum" (which of course containt carbon).

It would (to me) make more sense with carborundum and iron making steel (since you need carbon). Skyrim is a fantasy world yadayada, but is it possible that someone, somewhere messed up and got the two confused?
