Abstract:
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine includes a housing, an insulation porcelain, a center electrode and a ground electrode. Both of a tip portion of the center electrode and an opposing portion of the ground electrode are provided with respective projection portions which are projected toward a spark discharge gap. At least one of the projection portions has an opposing face that confronts the spark discharge gap and is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axial direction of the plug. The spark discharge gap is configured to be gradually enlarged, in one direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the plug, from a narrow gap on one end side toward a wide gap on the other end side.
Abstract:
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine is provided, which includes a housing, an insulation porcelain, a center electrode and a ground electrode. At least one of a tip portion of the center electrode and an opposing portion of the ground electrode is provided with a projection portion. At least one of the projection portions has a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the plug, the cross section having a minimum curvature radius portion and being in a specific shape that satisfies a predetermined requirement. The requirement is that, when a first straight line, a first line segment and a second straight line are provided, and when the cross section is divided into a first region and a second region by the second straight line, the second region has an area larger than the area of the first region.
Abstract:
A spark plug electrode is provided, in which an electrode member in which a total of 0.3 to 7.5 wt % of at least one of Ta and Nb is added to an IrRh alloy is provided at a discharge part.
