    摘要: There is provided a method for producing a spark plug in which welding strength between a noble metal tip and an electrode joined by laser welding can be restrained from becoming weak. A noble metal tip (90) to be joined to a center electrode (2) or ground electrode of a spark plug to form a spark discharge gap is resistance-welded to each electrode containing no noble metal and then laser-welded. In the noble metal tip (90) exposed under a severe environment involving spark discharge, a molten portion (80) formed in such a manner that a portion of the noble metal tip (90) and a portion of the electrode are melted by laser welding and a non-molten portion (95) on the noble metal tip (90) side are apt to be peeled from each other in a boundary surface (83) between the molten portion (80) and the non-molten portion (95). The noble metal content in the molten portion (80) however becomes higher because a flange portion is formed in a bottom portion by pressing force applied on the noble metal tip (90) at the time of resistance welding and then irradiated with a laser beam. Accordingly, peeling can be prevented from occurring in the boundary surface (83).

    摘要: There are provided a spark plug in which a plating film applied to a ground electrode can be relatively easily removed, without cost increase, to prevent deterioration in ignition performance, and a process for producing the spark plug. A spark plug 1 has a metal shell 3, a ground electrode 27 made of a Ni alloy and a Ni plating layer 28 containing Ni as a main component and applied to surfaces of at least a rear end portion of the ground electrode 27 and of the metal shell 3. A Ni plating film 41 applied to a center-electrode-side part of a portion of the ground electrode 27 to be bent has been irradiated with a laser beam or the like, thereby forming a molten layer 29 in which metal materials of the Ni plating film 41 and the ground electrode 27 are molten together on the center-electrode-side part of the portion of the ground electrode 27 to be bent. The Ni plating layer 28 is formed on a part of the ground electrode 27 other than the part irradiated with the laser beam.

In the noble metal tip (90) exposed under a severe environment involving spark discharge, a molten portion (80) formed in such a manner that a portion of the noble metal tip (90) and a portion of the electrode are melted by laser welding and a non-molten portion (95) on the noble metal tip (90) side are apt to be peeled from each other in a boundary surface (83) between the molten portion (80) and the non-molten portion (95). The noble metal content in the molten portion (80) however becomes higher because a flange portion is formed in a bottom portion by pressing force applied on the noble metal tip (90) at the time of resistance welding and then irradiated with a laser beam. Accordingly, peeling can be prevented from occurring in the boundary surface (83).
