Hmm. well the earliest reference I can find on "carborundum" is this March

It is an important point, but corundum also is a high temperature dielectric
on which plasmons can form. It would probably suffice.
The importance of carborundum, as opposed to corundum, is that it has a
pronounced 10 micron reflectance.
If Rossi was using corundum, then carborundum would seem like an
improvement, but it is important to track down the actual composition of
what was used in the December test.

From: Bob Higgins
There was no mention in the report of "carborundum", the description was "a
different ceramic material (corundum)". Corundum is Al2O3. The ceramic
form is common alumina.

corundum is what is noted down in the report but looking to its
characteristics they may have confused it with carborundum, which is indeed
another name for SiC.

Don't you mean "carborundum" . it is another name for SiC
From:
Jones, if I read the original report, the december test was performed on a
contruction that has a steel inner tube containing the Ni powder. That
cylinder was surrounded by a ceramic layer of corundum, which as a whole was
surrounded by a Silicon nitride shell.
The March test was performed on a device consisting of both a steel inner
and steel outer cylinder.
There is no mentioning of SiC in the report.
Maybe you used different reference?
