Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A spark plug includes: an insulator having an axial hole along an axial line; a center electrode provided on a front end side in the axial hole; a metal terminal provided on a rear end side in the axial hole; and a connection portion electrically connecting the center electrode and the metal terminal in the axial hole. The metal terminal has a head portion located at a rear end of the insulator, and a shaft portion located in the axial hole adjacently to a front end of the head portion. The shaft portion is thinner than the head portion, and at least a front end of the shaft portion contacts with the connection portion. The metal terminal contains 97 wt % or more of Fe and 0.20 to 0.28 wt % of C. A length along the axial line of the shaft portion is not greater than 60 mm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A spark plug comprising: an insulator having an axial hole penetrating from a front end to a rear end along an axial line; a center electrode provided on a front end side in the axial hole; a metal terminal, comprising: a head portion located at the rear end of the insulator; and a shaft portion located in the axial hole adjacently to a front end of the head portion, the shaft portion being thinner than the head portion; and a connection portion in contact with at least a front end of the shaft portion, the connection portion electrically connecting the center electrode and the metal terminal in the axial hole, wherein the metal terminal contains 97 wt % or more of Fe and 0.20 to 0.28 wt % of C, and wherein a length along the axial line of the shaft portion is not greater than 60 mm. 2 . The spark plug according to claim 1 , wherein the length is not smaller than 20 mm. 3 . The spark plug according to claim 1 , wherein the metal terminal contains 0.22 wt % or less of Cr.
