Abstract: A spark plug includes a ceramic insulator having an engagement portion, and a metallic shell provided around the ceramic insulator and having a protrusion. The protrusion has a diameter-decreasing portion, which seats on the engagement portion via an annular seat packing. On a cross section including an axial line, θs>θp is satisfied, where θp represents an acute angle (°) between a straight line orthogonal to the axial line and the contour of the engagement portion, and θs represents an acute angle (°) between a straight line orthogonal to the axial line and the contour of the diameter-decreasing portion. In the aforementioned cross section, Hvo>Hvi is satisfied, where Hvo represents the Vickers hardness (Hv) of the seat packing at the midpoint of a first line segment, and Hvi represents the Vickers hardness (Hv) of the seat packing at the midpoint of a second line segment.

Abstract: The spark plug includes a cylindrical insulator, a center electrode provided in the insulator, and a cylindrical metal shell provided around the insulator. A ledge portion of the metal shell has a frontward facing surface facing a front side, a rearward facing surface facing a rear side, and a connection surface connecting the rearward facing surface and the frontward facing surface. The rearward facing surface engages with a step portion of the insulator. The metal shell includes a front cylindrical portion connected to the front side of the ledge portion. The inner circumferential surface of the front cylindrical portion is connected to the frontward facing surface of the ledge portion via a chamfered surface or a rounded surface. A corner at which the connection surface and the frontward facing surface are connected is located on the front side with respect to a front end of the insulator.

Abstract: A packing between an insulator and a metal shell of a spark plug. A length between a first position of a contact portion of the packing and the insulator and a second position of a contact portion of the packing and the insulator parallel to an axial line direction is set as a first length. In the case where a load perpendicular to the axial line direction is applied to the second position, a ratio of stress at a surface position that is a position on a surface of the insulator to stress at the first position is set as a stress ratio. In a range of the surface position where the stress ratio is 0.8 or more to 1.15 or less, a length in a continuous range from the first position toward a front end side parallel to the axial line direction is set as a second length. A ratio of the second length to the first length is 0.7 or more.
