Bitter electromagnets are used where extremely strong fields are required.
The Bitter plates are made from copper or Cu-Ag-Alloy sheet metal with lots of cooling holes in it, which are stacked into a helix, then put voltage across the coil. High currents flow through the coil, typically about 40,000 amps
Different from the traditional punched process, Walthy makes these plates with high end laser process, which achieves high precision, minimum deformation and smooth sidewall quality. These plates are demonstrated in the latest strong field resistive magnets.
