A rotor assembly for a turbomachine having a permanent magnet electric motor that defines an axis of rotation includes a jacket member. The rotor assembly also includes a magnet member that is received within the jacket member. The magnet member has a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end that are separated along the axis of rotation. The rotor assembly also includes a first shaft structure that is attached to the first longitudinal end and a second shaft structure that is attached to the second longitudinal end. The magnet member is solitary and unitary and has a solid core.

Rotor assembly for turbomachine having electric motor with solitary solid core permanent magnet

A tool system for stress relieving a turbocharger turbine wheel longitudinally welded to a hardened rotor shaft. The shaft has a journal bearing region and a turbine-end body forming an A datum surface for receiving an axial bearing. The tool system includes an induction coil and an electronic oscillator, and a tool. The tool forms an opening configured to receive the rotor shaft such that the journal bearing region of the shaft extends into the tool housing while the A datum surface adjoins an end of the tool housing. The induction coil is positioned around the turbine-end body. The housing forms an annular cooling chamber surrounding the journal bearing region of the shaft. The housing forms an inlet passage to provide cooling fluid to the annular chamber, and an outlet passage to remove cooling fluid from the annular chamber.
