Abstract (en)

[Object] To inhibit a metal of which a sheath tube is composed from diffusing into a heating coil. [Solution] A heater (800) included in a glow plug (10) includes a sheath tube (810) and a heating coil (820). The heating coil contains at least one selected from tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo) as a main component and contains at least one additional element selected from potassium (K), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), lanthanum (La), thorium (Th), and cerium (Ce). The sheath tube contains at least one metal selected from nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe). A melt portion (816) that is in contact with an outer surface of a front-end portion of the heating coil is formed at a front-end portion of the sheath tube. The additional element exists at a crystal grain boundary of the main component at least in a surface layer (825) of the front-end portion of the heating coil.
