Abstract: An electric machine includes a conductor structure having at least one metallic conductor element made from at least one of aluminum, copper, and silver having a monocrystalline or columnar crystal structure. The conductor structure may be formed from a plurality of individual flat conductor elements integrally bonded together by welding or soldering to form a winding. The metallic conductor element may be cut from an aluminum, copper, or silver bar having a monocrystalline or columnar crystal structure. A wafer having a plurality of conductor elements may be cut from a bar with the conductor elements separated from the wafer.
