A method for the mass production of squirrel-cage rotors for electric motors includes the step of die casting-in-place rotor bars within the slots formed by stacked steel laminations. The molten metal alloy utilized in the method consists essentially of aluminum having an iron content of at least 0.4%. The incorporation of this amount of iron in the otherwise pure aluminum substantially reduces the number of defective rotors produced without degrading motor performance to any significant degree.
