Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016096464A1] The invention relates to a spark plug (1), comprising a housing (2), an insulator (3) arranged in the housing (2), a center electrode (5) arranged in the insulator (3), and a ground electrode (10) arranged on the housing (2), wherein the ground electrode (10) and the center electrode (5) are arranged in relation to each other in such a way that the ground electrode (10) and the center electrode (5) form a spark gap, and wherein the ground electrode (10) has a core (12) and a sheath (11) surrounding the core (12), wherein the core (12) is composed of a material that has a higher thermal conductivity than the material of the sheath (11), and wherein a cross-sectional area of the ground electrode (10) is not greater than 2.76 mm2, wherein the sheath (11) has a wall thickness c of not greater than 0.4 mm in a first region (15) of the ground electrode (10).
