The welding temperature is preferably higher than the melting point of the brazing filler metal by about 100 ℃, so that the reaction of Ni \ Cr in the brazing filler metal and a matrix material is facilitated, and the bonding strength of a welding joint and a base material is enhanced. The control of the welding heat preservation time has a large influence on the welding effect, the heat preservation time is too short, the melting reaction time is short, the combination is not facilitated, the time is long, the brazing filler metal easily flows out and volatilizes more, and the welding holes are easily caused.
