    Abstract: An electric machine rotor including a first stamped rotor lamination and a first stamped sheet of a material different than the first stamped rotor lamination is provided. The first stamped rotor lamination may define a pair of magnet pockets. The first stamped sheet may be coplanar with and scarf jointed to the first stamped rotor lamination to define a center bridge between the magnet pockets that has a magnetic permeability less than, and a mechanical strength greater than, the first stamped rotor lamination. The rotor may further include a second stamped sheet of a material different than the first stamped rotor lamination coplanar with and scarf jointed to the first stamped rotor lamination to define a top bridge adjacent to one of the magnet pockets at a perimeter of the rotor that has a magnetic permeability less than, and a mechanical strength greater than, the first stamped rotor lamination.
