Aperam has announced a new “slinky” production method for making iron-cobalt (FeCo) alloy stators and rotors for high-performance electric motors. The company says the approach adapts an in-plane helical winding process—already used for electrical steel—to FeCo alloys, which it describes as difficult to form despite “exceptional magnetic performance.” Aperam’s slinky method forms motor components from … Continue reading “Aperam launches “slinky” production method for electric motor stators and rotors”

In-wheel motors became a reality in a production electric pickup for the blink of an eye—in the Lordstown Endurance. But the technology, also known as wheel-hub motors, hasn’t yet been confirmed as production-bound for any other U.S. passenger vehicle or personal-use truck. That could change in the future. Based on some pictures recently published, Ford … Continue reading “Will in-wheel motor tech go big in electric pickups?”
