Patent ID: 8186038

Claim:
A method for building a component comprising a stator or rotor with a magnetic portion and an electrically conductive portion for an electrical rotating machine, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a powder of a magnetic material to form a magnetic portion of a stator or rotor; (b) providing an uninsulated electrically conductive material to form an electrically conductive portion of a stator or rotor; (c) determining a configuration and dimensions for a stator or rotor component of an electrical rotating machine; (d) positioning said powder of magnetic material and said uninsulated electrically conductive material within a mold functional to provide said materials with said dimensions of said stator or rotor after application of a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) procedure so that the magnetic powder and the uninsulated electrically conductive material are in direct contact; and (e) applying at least one HIP procedure to said powder of magnetic material and said uninsulated electrically conductive material in said mold, thereby simultaneously forming the magnetic portion of said stator or rotor and bonding the magnetic portion of said stator or rotor directly to the electrically conductive portion of said stator or rotor.
