That would be about as effective as using nylocks.

Heat is a common method of getting locktighted fasteners back apart.  I've 
had to resort to that on a couple occasions.

Maybe that's one of the "redesign" fastening methods, use a clamp of some 
sort where the threaded fasteners is not subjected to the full heat.
