Abstract: A method for counteracting tensile stress in an article is disclosed, including heating the article and applying compressive stress to the article along a compressive stress vector, the compressive stress vector including a compressive stress vector component opposite in direction to a tensile stress vector of a thermally-induced tensile stress of the article. The compressive stress is applied by thermally-induced autogenous pressure by a fixture contacting the article. A fixture for counteracting tensile stress is disclosed, including a first compression member and a second compression member, and a position lock connecting the first compression member to the second compression member and reversibly fixing the first compression member relative to the second compression member. The first compression member and the second compression member include compressive surfaces having mating conformations for surfaces of an article. The position lock includes a material composition.
