This video is to a Navy rail gun. When the shot is fired it almost looks like it is being propelled by an explosion, but I know this is not the case. Is that just friction with the air causing the steel to catch on fire/melt?

That conflagration is a result of the aluminum slug being projected at HYPERsonic speeds.
Over 33 Million Joules of energy in that shot.... more than 1 million amps of current.

The projective is burning off and that is what is left behind... like shedding vaporizing skin.

BTW, you could have looked this up. You're not the first to wonder or ask.
