No. It is a chemical compound.
Water does react with aluminum carbide. The metal actually decomposes in water and produces methane.
Aluminum carbide contains two different kinds of atoms: aluminum and carbon. The formula unit or molecular formula for aluminum carbide is Al4C3.
aluminum carbide
Its Aluminium silicide
When aluminum carbide reacts with water, the products of the reaction are aluminum hydroxide and methane gas. The balanced equation for this reaction is Al4C3 + 12H2O -->4Al(OH)3 + 3CH4(g)
Boron carbide (B4C) is not a metal. B4C is used as an extremely hard coating or tips for drills and other cutting tools.

Corundum is aluminum oxide, the formula is Al2O3
Aluminum is a metal
Carbide burrs are used to remove steel, aluminum, or cast iron from small areas a regular file cannot reach. Dentists use a carbide burr in a dental drill.
