Is there a solution to spider-arm corrosion?

Brand new Daewoo front load washer, 3 years in and the spider arm needs to be replaced. A little research reveals that spider-arm corrosion on front loads has been a common problem for a while now. Has anyone come up with a solution?

So many speculations as to what causes it...galvanic corrosion, water PH, detergent, keeping the door closed...any consensus in that regard?

I’m getting ready to put in a new spider arm and trying to figure out how I can treat it so that I could get at least 10 years out of it. I am thinking of first etching it with phosphoric acid, then anodizing it, and finally spraying it with a 2 part epoxy primer. What do you guys think? ...or has there been a proven method that works?
