Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0400950A1] In a spark plug for an internal combustion engine, a center electrode has a firing tip at its front end. The firing tip is made from iridium powder compact which is degreased, and sintered in a condition such as a vacuum, or inert atmosphere, so that the density of the powder compact is more than 90 percent to impart a spark-corrosion resistant property.
