The key was using a bunch of electricity for extremely fast heating. Sounds perfect for making aircraft replacement parts (and other stuff) on demand on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.

It wont bond correctly. The adornments will fall off unless the pigment is superficial. Annealing substrates with disparate metallic pigments so rapidly (seconds) just doesn't work. I hope this does.
