Ah, the old erosion-corrosion conundrum. I bet the answer's B, just to keep us on our toes. These examiners, they're a sneaky bunch.

Seriously, who needs to know about tensile strength when you're dealing with erosion-corrosion? C'mon, it's gotta be D all the way.

Tensile strength is important for other factors, but when it comes to erosion-corrosion, D is the key factor.

Yeah, the impact angle and velocity are important too, but the environment's corrosiveness plays a big role.

The tensile strength of the metal? That's like asking me to lift a building with my bare hands. Clearly, the correct answer is B.

Yes, those factors play a more significant role in erosion-corrosion compared to the tensile strength of the metal.

So, the impact angle, velocity of impacting particles, and corrosiveness of the environment are the primary factors?
