i'm trying to find a slicing blade for a 10 inch table saw

I have seen "band blades" for cutting foam on bandsaws.
A meat slicer blade might work, but I would be concerned that they are
not rated for the speed.
There are blades for rigid foam:

that blade looks like it would do the job
but pricey, $63
Which brings up a very old memory. About 1951 or 1952, my stepfather was
working at solar aircraft. in the old Des Moines Tech High School
building at 19th and Grand Avenue in Des Moines Ia, USA, in the tool and
die shop. Rand out of blades to cut titanium, some sort of a friction
cutter machine that ran the blades at nearly explosive speeds for the
wheels but looked something like a bandsaw. These machines all had their
own blade welders. If he couldn't find a weldable blade the production
of an important jet engine for the then heating up korean party that was
anything but, would have to stop for several days. The only thing he
could find was a pile of shipping strap in the corner, about to be
shipped out as scrap. Went to the pile, fished out a piece long enough,
cut it and welded up a blade. It did the job at about 90% of the cutting
speed of the high priced blade, and accurately enough to keep the
production line running. Solar had a reward for good tips and tricks,
and got an extra in his paycheck that week.
Could the OP use that same trick?
