The ignition part of the outer electrode is
Since it protrudes into the combustion chamber of the engine from the ignition part of the center electrode, the temperature tends to be high. In particular, Ir is less expensive and has better spark wear resistance than other noble metals such as platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) that are used as electrode materials for spark plugs, but it is oxidized and volatilized at high temperatures exceeding 900 ° C. Will be consumed more heavily. Further, the higher the speed and the higher the output of the gasoline engine, the higher the temperature of the ignition part of the outer electrode is, so that it is necessary to take measures to prevent the oxidation and volatilization.
An object of the present invention is to provide a spark plug in which, when Ir or an Ir alloy is welded to the outer electrode as a tip, excessive temperature rise of these noble metal tips is prevented and oxidation volatilization is suppressed to improve durability. It is in.
