    摘要: The invention relates to a palladium-copper-silver alloy with palladium as the main component, wherein the palladium-copper-silver alloy has a weight ratio of palladium to copper of at least 1.05 and at most 1.6 and has a weight ratio of palladium to silver of at least 3 and at most 6, and wherein the palladium-copper-silver alloy contains more than 1 wt % and up to a maximum of 6 wt % of ruthenium, rhodium or ruthenium and rhodium and contains, as the remainder, palladium, copper and silver and at most 1 wt % of other metallic elements including impurities. The invention also relates to a wire, a strip or a probe needle made of such a palladium-copper-silver alloy and to the use of such a palladium-copper-silver alloy for testing electrical contacts or for making electrical contact or for producing a sliding contact.

    摘要: A spark plug having a center electrode that includes a columnar noble metal tip at one end thereof, and a ground electrode that forms a spark gap between the ground electrode and a circular discharge surface of the tip. In the tip, a mass % of Pt is largest and a content percentage of Ni is more than or equal to 0 mass % and less than or equal to 40 mass %. In each of both a cross-section of the noble metal tip parallel to the discharge surface and a cross-section of the tip perpendicular to the discharge surface, particles each having an aspect ratio of more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 10 occupy more than or equal to 70% of observed particles in an area extending from an outline of the cross-section by a distance of 10% of a diameter of the discharge surface.
