In the present work, metal matrix nanocomposites are being prepared using Fe as base material reinforced with Al2O3 and doped with CeO2. Nanocomposite specimens were synthesized using powder metallurgy technique. Tafel Polarization, Corrosion Behavior and its optimization using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well as Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) along with Phase and Microstructure of prepared samples have been investigated. It was observed that corrosion rate and corrosion current density was highest for pure Fe samples whereas 1.0% CeO2 doped Fe-Al2O3 metal matrix nanocomposite system showed the formation of nano amorphous layer on the specimen surface. Analysis of Variance shows that the different compositions of samples have changed outcome on corrosion behavior. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution analysis shows ordered preference of sample as per the readings of corrosion rate.
