Default Cracking metal question

Hi all

While working on some Wire3 parts yesterday I removed some brazing that was holding on old chains. I used a torch to metal most of the brazing and scraped it off with a old tool. However I then noticed the metal had lots of little cracks. Was this from me heating it up or was it something to do with the brazing?

I’d like to weld up the cracks but I’ve read that any brazing left over can make the welding that much more difficult.
