In a radial-gap dynamoelectric machine (10), a composite stator ferromagnetic structure (18) having reduced losses is formed using thin section metallic glass or electrical steel strips (51) folded or otherwise periodically deflected on one side or another of one or more planes (55) perpendicular to the machine longitudinal axis (25) edge wound to form a ring-like magnetic structure surrounding separate stator tooth assemblies formed of traditional or thin-section sheet or powdered ferromagnetic materials. Alternative structures are described.
