Abstract
A method of making a composite powder metal disk for a rotor assembly in a synchronous reluctance machine. The method includes filling discrete regions of a disk-shaped die with ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic powder metals, compacting to powders, and sintering the compacted powders. By this method, a disk is formed that includes alternating regions of magnetically conducting powder metal and magnetically non-conducting powder metal compacted and sintered to a high density. The method may also include forming a rotor assembly by stacking a plurality of the composite powder metal disks axially along a shaft with their magnetic configurations aligned.
