Abstract: A spark plug enabling suppression of reduction in the strength of an insulator. In the spark plug, a rear end portion of an engagement portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of a tubular insulator extending along an axial line from a front side to a rear side, is engaged with a to-be-engaged portion of a tubular metal shell disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the insulator. The insulator is made from ceramic such as alumina. On at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the insulator, a projected and recessed portion is formed on the front side relative to the engagement portion so as to helically extend in a circumferential direction of the insulator.

Abstract: To prevent a sealant from intruding between a flange and a stepped portion during manufacture of a spark plug and to prevent cracking of an insulator during use of the spark plug, a spark plug includes a center electrode including a flange, an insulator having a through-hole extending in an axial-line direction and holding the center electrode, and a sealant filled in the through-hole to fix the flange and the insulator to each other; the insulator including a stepped portion in which the through-hole reduces a diameter toward a front end side and that supports the flange, and a small-diameter portion that is continuous with a front end side of the stepped portion and in which the diameter of the through-hole is smaller than in the stepped portion; an angle θ1 formed by the stepped portion and a plane perpendicular to the axial line and an angle θ2 formed by the plane perpendicular to the axial line and an opposing surface of the flange opposing the stepped portion satisfies θ1−θ2≥6°, and in a cross section including the axial line, a maximum diameter D1 of the flange and a diameter D2 of the through-hole at a rear end of the small-diameter portion in the axial-line direction satisfy 0.15 mm≤(D1−D2)/2.

Abstract: An insulator is rendered less breakable. A spark plug insulator is a tube-shaped spark plug insulator having a through hole extending in a direction of an axial line. The spark plug insulator contains alumina as a main component and mullite at at least part of the insulator. Mullite is contained in only an inner circumferential surface of the tube-shaped spark plug insulator and in at least part of the inner circumferential surface of the spark plug insulator in an area extending toward a distal end from a portion having a largest outer diameter.
