  • Publication number: 20230291293
    Abstract: A method for producing an intermediate product for an electrical machine includes supplying a mould for a housing part. A stator laminated core is laid inside the mould and the housing part is produced by introducing a molten metal alloy into the mould. The molten metal alloy comes directly into contact with the stator laminated core. The method relates to an electrical machine with such an intermediate product, and a vehicle with such an electrical machine.
