neutral  Derek Newport: Although AniseK's solution could be correct, two other possibilities are a) イベーションラップ = evasion lapping (material) or b) イベソ = casting lug (material) , but in the context, I suggest a) [reference: Inter Press Dictionary of Science and Engineering]

Explanation:
Inter Press Dictionary of Science and Engineering gives two terms which include イベ, in view of the context, I think this is the most likely. (I thought I had answered this by inserting a comment earlier, but mail today recommended that I confirm this for Casey' sake. BTW I note that several answerers wrote イペ instead of　イベ . Inter only uses　イベ for the two examples given.
