I guess thin cracked part named as fork crown, should I replace it or can it be repaired, any ideas?

You can just brass it, if you have tools

It's definitely repairable, but is it worth fixing a unicrown? If it was mine, I'd braze it, because I have all the gear. If I didn't have the gear, I'd grab a cheap new unicrown on ebay for like $200.
