    Abstract: A method for making an extruded insulator for a spark plug in a manner that minimizes pores, relics and/or other defects in the insulator microstructure so that the overall dielectric strength or performance of the insulator is improved. The method may be used to manufacture an extruded insulator that avoids many of the drawbacks associated with such defects, but also has a stepped internal bore for receiving a center electrode. In one embodiment, the method uses a multi-phase extrusion process to extrude a ceramic paste around an elongated arbor and form an extruded section, and then removes the arbor from the extruded section to reveal a stepped internal bore.

    Abstract: A spark plug (20) for igniting a mixture of fuel and air of an internal combustion engine comprises a center electrode (22) and a ground electrode (24). At least one of the electrodes (22, 24) includes a body portion (28, 30) formed of thermally conductive material and a firing tip (32, 34) disposed on the body portion (28, 30). The firing tip (32, 34) includes a ceramic material, providing an exposed firing surface (36, 38). The ceramic material is an electrically conductive, monolithic ceramic material. The ceramic material of the firing tip (32, 34) includes at least one perovskite structure and/or at least one a spinel structure.
