Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0401598A1] A centre electrode for sparking plugs of internal combustion engines, which has a core (7) consisting of a base-metal material of good thermal conductivity which is provided in the region of the sparking tip (6) with a noble-metal sheath (8) which consists of silver or of a silver alloy containing a predominant silver component, is to be improved such that no oxides or low-melting eutectic alloys occur at the interface between the core material and the sheath. The characteristic feature of the invention is to be regarded as the fact that at least one dividing layer (9), which is impermeable to oxygen and/or prevents the formation of a eutectic alloy between the core material and the material of the sheath, is provided at the interface between the core material (7) and the sheath (8). <IMAGE>
