    摘要: A multi-layer rod shaped ceramic igniter includes an elongated tapered electrode having a central core of resistant material and two annular segments. One of the segments in on one side of the core and the other on an opposite side and connected to two slightly converging facets extending along the core. The multi-layered rod shaped ceramic igniters disclosed herein may be manufactured by slip-casting, injection molding or extruding a green annular body and removing material from opposite sides of the green body to form two almost parallel but slightly converging facets that extend over the heater igniter between the back surface and the tip of the igniter. After removing material between the annular segments the igniter is air dried and then heated in a vacuum at atmospheric pressure to approximately 900° C. in order to burn off the organic binder. The ceramic is then held in an inert atmosphere and heated to a temperature of 1600° C. and under an isotatic pressure of greater than 10 mega pascales for sintering the layer into a unitary monolithic structure.
