It is excellent as a material for the resistor 3.
- the resistor 3 is preferably composed mainly of WC of an inorganic conductor, and the content of silicon nitride added thereto is 20% by mass or more.
- the conductor component serving as the resistor 3 has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than silicon nitride, and thus is usually in a state where tensile stress is applied.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the resistor 3 is brought close to the thermal expansion coefficient of the insulating base 9, and the thermal expansion coefficient when the heater 1 is heated and lowered. The stress due to the difference can be relaxed.
- the content of silicon nitride contained in the resistor 3 is 40% by mass or less, the resistance value of the resistor 3 can be made relatively small and stabilized. Therefore, the content of silicon nitride contained in the resistor 3 is preferably 20% by mass to 40% by mass. More preferably, the silicon nitride content is 25% by mass to 35% by mass.

Further, when the content of silicon nitride is 40% by mass or less, the resistance value of the lead 8 becomes small and stable. Accordingly, the silicon nitride content is preferably 15% by mass to 40% by mass. More preferably, the silicon nitride content is 20% by mass to 35% by mass.
- the lead 8 may have a resistance value per unit length lower than that of the resistor 3 by making the content of the forming material of the insulating base 9 smaller than that of the resistor 3. The resistance value per unit length may be lower than that of the resistor 3 by increasing the cross-sectional area.
- the connecting portion 2 is provided so that the resistor 3 and the lead 8 overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the lead 8.
- the connection portion 2 here refers to a region where the interface between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 exists when viewed in a cross section parallel to the axial direction of the lead 8.
- the connecting portion 2 is provided so that the boundary line between the end surface and the end surface of the lead 8 is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the lead 8.
- the tilt angle of the boundary line with respect to the axial direction is, for example, 10 to 80 degrees.
- connection portion 2 when the connection portion 2 is viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction, the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 is curved.
- the boundary surface between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 is a curved surface.
- connection part 2 By adopting such a configuration, a part of the high-frequency component that has propagated along the surface of the lead 8 is reflected and scattered by a portion where impedance matching cannot be achieved at the connection portion 2 between the lead 8 and the resistor 3, Dissipated as Joule heat, the connection part 2 generates heat locally. At this time, if the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 is connected in a curved line, the direction of stress in the boundary surface caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the lead 8 and the thermal expansion coefficient of the resistor 3 Can be avoided.
- the same effect can be obtained even when DC drive is used instead of pulse drive.

It is provided and inclined with respect to the axial direction. This step-like step appears when viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the axial direction.
- the resistor 3 has a folded shape, and the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 seen in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction forms a pair on the lead 8 side. It is a convex curve.
- Joule heat is likely to be generated on the lead side of the boundary with the resistor 3 so that the heat is heated at the center side of the heater 1.
- compressive stress is applied from the insulating substrate 9 to suppress the formation of cracks, and the resistance value of the heater 1 is stabilized over a long period of time.
- the cathode side of the heater 1 is grounded and a large direct current is passed through the resistor 3 at the start of engine operation for the purpose of rapid temperature rise, a potential difference is suddenly generated between the anode side and the cathode side and grounded. Since electrons instantaneously flow in from the cathode side, the temperature rises before the anode side. For this reason, not only the anode-side connecting portion 2 but also the cathode-side connecting portion 2 has such a structure (a curved shape convex to the lead 8 side), so that heat is propagated to the center of the heater.
- the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 seen in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction at least on the tip side of the connecting portion 2 may be a curved shape convex toward the resistor 3 side. According to this configuration, even if the high frequency component propagating along the surface of the lead 8 is reflected by the impedance mismatch at the connection portion between the lead 8 and the resistor 3 and locally generates heat, it is caused by the difference in thermal expansion. In addition to the effect that the direction of stress is bent in the boundary surface to suppress the generation of microcracks and the crack generated at the boundary surface does not progress at a stretch, it also has the following effects.
- the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 as viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction at least on the tip side of the connecting portion 2 is a curved shape that protrudes toward the resistor 3 side.
- the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 seen in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction is a convex curve on the lead 8 side.

- the resistor 3 becomes a high temperature before the lead 8, so that the stress can be reduced Can do.
- connection portion 2 since the occurrence of microcracks in the connection portion 2 can be suppressed, cracks do not progress along the boundary surface, and the resistance value of the heater 1 is stabilized over a long period of time.
- the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 as viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction in the connecting portion 2 is a curved shape in which the lead 8 surrounds a part of the resistor 3.
- the reflection of the current is dispersed, the generation of Joule heat is dispersed, the effect of bending the direction of the stress is great, and the stress is confined even when the resistor 3 expands, so that the crack does not progress.
- the formation of microcracks in the connection portion 2 can be suppressed, and cracks do not progress along the interface between the lead 8 and the resistor 3, so that the resistance value of the heater 1 is stabilized over a long period of time.
- the boundary between the resistor 3 and the lead 8 viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction in the connecting portion 2 is a curved shape that surrounds the entire resistor 3 with the lead 8. Even if the resistor 3 is thermally expanded, the stress can be completely confined. Further, the high-frequency component that has propagated along the surface of the lead 8 is reflected by a portion of the impedance matching at the connecting portion 2 with the resistor 3 and dissipated as Joule heat. At this time, if the resistor 3 is encased in the lead 8 on the rear end side of the connecting portion 2, the current reflected by the connecting portion 2 is scattered radially and the Joule heat is dissipated.
- the effect can be enhanced. As a result, micro cracks are less likely to occur at the connection portion 2 between the lead 8 and the resistor 3, and the crack is prevented from progressing along the boundary surface, and the resistance value of the heater 1 is stabilized over a long period of time. .
- the heater 1 of the present embodiment is a metal holding member that is electrically connected to the heater 1 and a terminal portion (not shown) of the lead 8 and holds the heater 1. It is preferable to use it as a glow plug with 7.
- a resistor 3 having a folded shape is embedded in a rod-shaped insulating base 9 and a pair of leads 8 are electrically connected to both ends of the resistor 3.
- the metal holding member 7 (sheath fitting) is a metal cylindrical body that holds the heater 1 and is joined to one lead 8 drawn out to the side surface of the ceramic base 9 with a brazing material or the like. Further, the wire is joined to the other lead 8 drawn out to the rear end of the other ceramic base 9 with a brazing material or the like.
- the resistance of the heater 1 does not change even if it is used for a long time while being repeatedly turned on and off in a high-temperature engine, so that a glow plug having excellent ignitability can be provided at any time.
- the heater 1 of the present embodiment can be formed by, for example, an injection molding method using a die having the shape of the resistor 3, the lead 8, and the insulating base 9.
- a conductive paste to be the resistor 3 and the lead 8 including the conductive ceramic powder and the resin binder is manufactured, and a ceramic paste to be the insulating base 9 including the insulating ceramic powder and the resin binder is manufactured.
- a conductive paste molded body (molded body a) having a predetermined pattern to be the resistor 3 is formed by an injection molding method or the like using the conductive paste. Then, in a state where the molded body a is held in the mold, the conductive paste is filled in the mold to form a conductive paste molded body (molded body b) having a predetermined pattern to be the leads 8. Thereby, the molded product a and the molded product b connected to the molded product a are held in the mold.
- the heater 1 can be manufactured by firing the obtained molded body d at a temperature of 1650 ° C. to 1800 ° C. and a pressure of 30 MPa to 50 MPa, for example.
- the firing is preferably performed in a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere such as hydrogen gas.
- the heater of the example of the present invention was manufactured as follows.
- a conductive paste containing 50% by mass of tungsten carbide (WC) powder, 35% by mass of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) powder, and 15% by mass of a resin binder is injection-molded into a mold to form a resistor.
- a formed product a was produced.
- a ceramic paste containing 10% by mass of O 3 ) and 5% by mass of tungsten carbide (WC) for bringing the coefficient of thermal expansion close to the resistor and the lead was injection molded into a mold.
- a molded body d having a configuration in which the molded body a and the molded body b were embedded in the molded body c serving as an insulating base was formed.
- a pulse pattern generator was connected to the glow plug electrode, and a rectangular pulse with an applied voltage of 7 V, a pulse width of 10 ⁇ s, and a pulse interval of 1 ⁇ s was continuously energized. After 1000 hours, the rate of change in resistance value before and after energization ((resistance value after energization ⁇ resistance value before energization) / resistance value before energization) was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
- sample number 1 since the resistance change before and after energization of sample number 1 was as large as 55%, the connection between the lead and resistor of sample number 1 was observed with a scanning electron microscope after pulse energization. It was confirmed that microcracks were generated from the outer peripheral direction to the inner side.
- the most heat-generating portion was the resistor heating portion at the tip of the heater. Then, in order to confirm the energized state, the pulse waveform flowing through the heater was confirmed using an oscilloscope, and the waveform was almost the same as the input waveform.
- the resistance change before and after the energization of sample numbers 2 to 4 is as small as 5% or less.
- the connection between the lead of these sample numbers and the resistor was observed with a scanning electron microscope. There was no.
