A better option would be to solder or braze it. Tin-based soft solder would probably work, but due to the elevated temperature requirements, it would probably be better to use a silver brazing alloy.

If you don’t have some experience soldering or brazing, I’d take it to a local welding repair shop, and ask them if they can "silver braze" it for you.
