Aperam Introduces New Manufacturing Technique for Motor Stators and Rotors

Steel producer Aperam has unveiled a fresh approach to building the stator and rotor components used in electric motors. The company describes the method as “slinky”-style production, aimed at streamlining how these magnetic parts are manufactured at scale.

Stators and rotors sit at the heart of any electric drive unit, and their production cost and efficiency carry real weight for EV makers. By rethinking the fabrication process, Aperam hopes to offer an alternative to conventional techniques currently used across the industry.

Details on the exact mechanics of the method remain limited in the source material, but the launch signals continued interest from materials suppliers in optimizing the electric vehicle supply chain. Further specifications on performance and adoption timelines were not disclosed.
