A method is disclosed for providing inorganic and/or organic coating compositions
onto rotor cores to eliminate soldering during aluminum injection. These coatings
can also be applied upon electric motor rotors and/or stators laminates as well
as other electronic components such as transformers. The disclosed method provides
at least one film or layer of a coating composition within channels or bar slots
defined by the rotor of the electric motor core/rotor (depending upon the design
of the motor the slots can be defined within the rotor or open ended along the
longitudinal axis of the rotor). The coating composition is also typically applied
upon all exposed surfaces of the rotor, e.g., within the channels and exterior
surfaces of the rotor. The coated rotor is then contacted with a molten metal.
The coating composition functions to isolate the laminates (e.g., steel) of the
rotor from a molten metal (e.g., aluminum and its alloys), which surrounds the
rotor and fills the channels thereby embedding the rotor, and prevents the metal
from forming an undesirable conductive path typically termed soldering among the
individual laminates.
