Iron carbide is Fe3C.
Iron is oxidized and rusting appear.
iron by itself is a very weak metal and it does not find any good use in the industrial applications. when carbon is added to iron as a solid solution it adds strength to it. this gives us the steel alloy. if you refer the iron-iron carbide equilibrium diagram then you will find it amazing how iron and carbon can exhibit different crystal structure this leads to the formation of a lot of variety of steel. steels can be heat treated from being very soft to being very hard and the opposite can be done as well. very tough steels can be made, very ductile steels can be made , very hard steels can be made , etc etc etc etc.,
Oxides of iron, which the Martian sands seem to be very rich in.
Drill bits can be made from steel which is a mxture compriing mainly of iron. Many drill bits are coated with a very hard yellowish chemical compound titanium carbide. (made of titanium and carbon)
the iron iron carbide phase diagram does not have a single microstructure, it has different microstructures depending on the carbon content of the steel.
1) The nonequilibrium martensite does not appear on the diagram; and 2) The diagram provides no indication as to the time-temperature relationships for the formation of pearlite, bainite, and spheroidite, all of which are composed of the equilibrium ferrite and cementite phases.

Steel Iron carbide or just plain carbide.
Iron (II) Carbonate
Iron carbide is Fe3C.
Iron, carbide, titanium to name a few.

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.
The iron(II) ion has +2 charge - Fe2+ The carbonate has -2 charge - CO32- the charge must be balanced so for every one iron(II) ion there should be one carbonate ion. Therefore the formula of Iron(II) Carbonate is: FeCO3
Carbide is a chemical compound wherein carbon is combined with a metallic or semi-metallic element. It is used as a constituent in steel and cast iron production, as well as a source of acetylene.
Cementite is a compound that is made of iron and carbon, and is sometimes referred to as iron carbide. Because it is a hard compound, it is often used to mix with steel and harden the steel.
