Advancements in Aluminum Die Cast Rotors

Aluminum die-cast rotors have been manufactured since the 1930s, with rotor sizes increasing each year due to advancements in die casting technology. Current technology allows for aluminum rotors with a 30-inch diameter and 50-inch core length, producing 10,000 horsepower. However, rotors above 1750 horsepower are rarely used due to high tooling costs and low demand.

Aluminum Die Cast Construction (ADC):

Aluminum die-cast rotors have been manufactured since


the 1930s. Although this process has been utilized for a
long time, the rotor sizes that can be die cast increase each
year due to manufacturing advancements in die cast
technology. Current state of the art technology makes it
possible to die cast aluminum rotors with a 30 diameter and
a 50 core length. This is the size rotor that would be
capable of producing 10,000 Hp. However, due to tooling
costs and demand it is unusual to see ADC rotors used in
ratings above 1750 HP.
