1) Iron rust to create iron oxide (ochre or FeOOH I think). I think carbon cannot oxidise, because it is nota metal, but it can join a metal and then it oxidises I think.

2) Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Carbon doesn't rust but could eventually oxidize if exposed to extremely high degrees of heat (above 500 degrees).
