    摘要: This spark plug inhibits excessive increase in the temperature of a ground electrode to inhibit occurrence of pre-ignition. The spark plug includes: an insulator in which an axial hole extending in an axial line direction is formed; a center electrode disposed at a front end in the axial line direction of the axial hole and having a front end portion that protrudes from a front side of the axial hole; a tubular metal shell holding the insulator; and a ground electrode having one end portion that is fixed to a through hole provided in the metal shell, the ground electrode further having another end portion that forms a discharge gap between the other end portion and the front end portion of the center electrode. The through hole extends toward the front side in the axial line direction, in a direction from an outer peripheral surface toward an inner peripheral surface of the metal shell. The one end portion is located on a rear side relative to the other end portion in the axial line direction.

    摘要: A spark plug has a central electrode and a ground electrode. The central electrode has an electrode base material part and a noble metal chip of a cylindrical shape and is welded on the electrode base material part. A spark discharge is generated between the noble metal chip of the central electrode and the ground electrode when supplying a predetermined voltage to the spark plug. An intermediate region is formed on an overall surface between the electrode base material part and the noble metal chip. The intermediate region has a primary measurement part and a secondary measurement part. Components of the noble metal chip in the primary measurement area have a first average ratio of not less than 40 wt %, and components of the noble metal chip in the secondary measurement area have a second average ratio of not more than 80 wt %.

    摘要: A spark plug is provided with a center electrode and a ground electrode. The ground electrode includes an electrode tip, an electrode base material, an intermediate member and a first melt portion. The intermediate member is disposed between the electrode tip and the electrode base material. The first melt portion contains components of the electrode base material and the intermediate member, and is disposed at least at a part of the boundary between the electrode base material and the intermediate member. In a cross section including the axis of the ground electrode, the boundary line between the intermediate member and the first melt portion has at least two first projection portions projecting toward the electrode tip side, and the boundary line between the electrode base material and the first melt portion has at least two second projection portions projecting toward the opposite side of the first projection portions.

    摘要: A spark plug has a housing of a cylindrical shape and an insulator supported to an inside of the housing. A channel part is formed at a distal end side of the housing. The channel part is open so that the inside of the housing communicates with an outside of the housing through the channel part. The channel part has a channel bottom having a tapered shape oblique relative to a plug central axis. An overall channel bottom is arranged in the housing closer to a proximal end side than to the distal end side of the housing.
