摘要： An alumina-based sintered body includes 92 mass % to 96 mass % of Al in terms of an oxide, and at least three elements selected from Group II elements, one of the at least three elements being 1.90 mass % or more of Ba in terms of an oxide. The alumina-based sintered body includes the following phases in a grain boundary phase present between alumina crystal grains: a first crystal phase containing Si and at least one of the Group II elements, and a second crystal phase containing Al and at least one of the Group II elements. In X-ray diffraction of the alumina-based sintered body, the maximum relative intensity of the first crystal phase and the maximum relative intensity of the second crystal phase are both 2 or above relative to the maximum diffraction intensity of the alumina crystal.

摘要： A spark plug including an insulator containing not less than 92 mass % and not greater than 96 mass % of Al component in terms of oxide, wherein the insulator is formed from an alumina sintered body comprising alumina crystal and a grain boundary phase present between crystal grains of the alumina crystal. Assuming that mass contents of an Si component, an Mg component, a Ba component, and a Ca component in terms of oxide are represented by MSiO2, MMgO, MBaO, and MCaO, respectively, and a sum of MSiO2, MMgO, MBaO, and MCaO is represented by Mt, the grain boundary phase contains these components so as to satisfy conditions (1) to (4) as follows: (1) 0.17≦MSiO2/Mt≦0.47; (2) 0.005≦MMgO/Mt≦0.07; (3) 0.29≦MBaO/Mt≦0.77; (4) 0.03≦MCaO/Mt≦0.19.

摘要： A spark plug having an insulator with a leg portion whose outer circumferential surface has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.5 μm or less. The leg portion has a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first section has an outer diameter that decreases toward the forward end of the first section. The second section is located forward of and adjacent to the first section and its outer diameter decreases toward the forward end of the second section. The outer circumferential surface of the second section is located inward of a first straight line passing through the base and forward ends of the outer circumferential surface of the first section. The third section is located forward of and adjacent to the second section. The outer diameter of the third section is equal to or less than a forward end outer diameter Ds of the second section over the entire third section.
