Abstract: A spark plug having a firing pad with minimal silicon diffusion and limited silicon oxidation at grain boundaries that can cause undesirable vertical cracking. In one embodiment, the firing pad has a multilayer structure having a base layer and a firing layer, wherein the base layer is a non-precious metal based material having silicon, and wherein the firing layer is a precious metal based material having yttrium in an amount of 0.1 to 0.5 wt %, inclusive. After at least 190 hours of isothermal treatment of at least 1000° C., an extent of vertical cracking from the sparking surface does not exceed 50% of a thickness of the firing pad or the firing layer.

Abstract: An ignition plug for an internal combustion engine includes an electrode protrusion that protrudes from an electrode base material of a ground electrode toward a discharge gap. The electrode protrusion has a base part that is integrated with the electrode base material and a cover part that is joined to the base part and faces the discharge gap. The base part has an end surface facing a protrusion direction of the base part and a side peripheral surface. An outer edge of the end surface has a curved surface. The cover part is formed from a precious metal or a precious metal alloy having a lower linear expansion coefficient than that of a material for forming the base part and covers at least a part of the side peripheral surface and the end surface of the base part. While the ignition plug is attached to an internal combustion engine and the electrode protrusion is heated and then cooled, a projection is formed on an outer surface of a portion covering the side peripheral surface of the base part.

Abstract: A spark plug adopting an electromagnetic-wave-resonation-structure, efficiently ignites fuel inside a combustion chamber. The spark plug comprises a center electrode configured to transmit an electromagnetic wave having a discharge electrode, the discharge electrode mounted on a distal end of the center electrode, a casing member surrounding a periphery of the center electrode and the discharge electrode and a tip end part thereof functioning as a ground electrode so as to become in pair with the discharge electrode, and a vent configured to allow for an aerial passage is provided at a tip end of the casing member. At that time, the vent can be formed in a slit manner or in a hole type.

Abstract: A spark plug includes a main fitting having a first, second, and third portions adjacent to each other. The spark plug further includes an insulator having a first opposing portion with a predetermined portion opposed to the first portion with a first interval, a second opposing portion with a second portion opposing the second portion with a second interval, and a third opposed portion opposed to the third portion. A connecting portion between the second opposing portion is supported by a support portion, and a value obtained by dividing the first interval by a length from the support portion to a rear end portion of the predetermined portion is configured to be smaller than a value obtained by dividing the second interval by a length from the support portion to a rear end portion of the second opposed portion.

Abstract: A multi-electrode spark plug having a large spark target volume is disclosed. The spark plugs have a plurality of ground electrode rods which extend from the base of the spark plug and are twisted around center electrode to provide a plurality of substantially equidistant spark points relative to the center electrode. The spark points are formed in parallel and around the elongated axis of the spark plug. This configuration enables the spark to be created where the localized concentration of fuel to air is richer, such as that which may exist when the engine is operating with lower revolutions per minute. Test results indicate that automobiles equipped with the multi-electrode spark plugs exhibit improved fuel economy, and substantially reduced emissions and air pollution.
