Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3.It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4), which also occurs naturally as the mineral magnetite.As the mineral known as hematite, Fe 2 O 3 is the main source of iron for the steel industry.Fe 2 O 3 is ferromagnetic, dark red, and readily attacked by acids. Iron(III) oxide is often called rust, and to some extent this label is useful, because rust shares several properties and has a similar composition.s the mineral known as hematite, Fe 2 O 3 is the main source of iron for the steel industry.
