However, materials aren't the only thing that makes strong armor. The Dwarves were much more skilled then orcs when it comes to forging. Orcs were said to be good craftsmen, but they aren't even close to Elven skill level. Since the dwarves are said to be better then the elves, I see no reason why orcs should be able to have unique dwarven level armor.
