Abstract: A spark plug has a firing pad attached to a center electrode or to a ground electrode. The firing pad is attached via laser welding and has a sparking surface with an overall fused area and an unfused area. In one or more embodiments, the overall fused area is located in part or more inboard of a peripheral edge of the firing pad.

Abstract: A spark plug has a firing pad attached to a center electrode or a ground electrode by way of a fused portion. In one or more embodiments, the firing pad is composed of a precious metal material. The fused portion can be formed in such a way that a material composition thereof at a sparking surface of the firing pad has a greater percentage of the precious metal material than a material of the underlying electrode to which the firing pad is attached.

Abstract: A spark plug having a metal shell, an insulator, a center electrode, a ground electrode, and a multi-layer sparking component. The multi-layer sparking component is attached at a firing end of the ground electrode and includes a thin precious metal layer formed overtop a base metal layer and, according to some embodiments, overhangs the end of the ground electrode. The precious metal and base metal layers may be pre-manufactured together as a bi-metal ribbon, sheet or laminate before the multi-layer sparking component is attached to the ground electrode.

Abstract translation: 一种火花塞，具有金属壳，绝缘体，中心电极，接地电极和多层点火组件。 多层火花组件附着在接地电极的烧制端，并且包括形成在基底金属层顶上的薄的贵金属层，并且根据一些实施例，悬垂在接地电极的端部。 在将多层火花组件附着到接地电极之前，贵金属和贱金属层可以一起预先制造为双金属带，片或层压体。
