Humm....rather technical but there are that many articles on rudder

The page is in english but the references in the diagrams are in

maybe you'll learn some Italian.

of misunderstanding about corrosion. One often mistakes the corrosion
taking place under water for the corrosion taking place above deck.
It's very important to identify two types of corrosion:"
