The high-speed electrical machines are widely used in different industries, such as machine tools, aerospace engineering, autonomous power engineering, etc. This chapter devoted to materials used in high-speed electrical machines with high-coercitivity permanent magnets (HCPMs). It is considered to be materials of rotor sleeve, shaft, stator magnetic core, and permanent magnet. Material selection methods are presented. In addition, mechanical strength calculation of the rotor sleeve is shown. The obtained results can be used in the design of high-speed electrical machines with high-coercivity permanent magnets and in their future development.
