Here's another thought:

303 stainless steel is not corrosion resistant.
303 has a magnetic pull to it. Magnet won't hold to steel but you can feel it pull to it. That means it will corrode.

I use to be a structural inspector on submarines and I've seen 1" thick 303 stainless steel have 20% of it corroded away in less than 3 years.

That was Saltwater but still if I was going to go thru all that work I would get the piece made out 500 series stainless.

Just my 2 cents worth.
