Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3001519A1] A method of manufacturing a spark plug 1 in which at least one of a center electrode 2 and a ground electrode 3 includes a discharge chip 5. In a chip making step, the discharge chip 5 is made by joining a discharge part 51 arranged on a spark discharge gap 11 side and a base member-joining part 52 that is made of a material having a lower melting point than the discharge part 51 and to be joined to an electrode base member 30. In a temporary joining step, the discharge chip 5 is temporarily joined, at the base member-joining part 52, to the electrode base member 30 by resistance welding. In a main joining step, the discharge chip 5 is joined, by laser welding, to the electrode base member 30 so that a side surface 511 of the discharge part 51 and a surface 31 of the electrode base member 30 are smoothly connected by a connecting surface 523 that has no sharp edge.
