Abstract: The invention relates to a squirrel-cage rotor for an asynchronous machine. In order to increase the electrical efficiency for a cage rotor composed of two materials, the cage rotor comprises a rotor core (1) having grooves (3), end rings (5) of a first material that are cast onto the rotor core on the end face, and conductors (4) that are arranged in the grooves and that are made of a second material that has an electric conductivity that is higher than the electric conductivity of the first material, wherein the conductors (4) comprise a coating (8) made of a coating material on the surface of the conductors, wherein the coating adjoins the second material of the conductors (4) by means of a first alloy layer (2) made of the second material and the coating material and adjoins the cast first material by means of a second alloy layer (9); made of the first material and the coating material.
