A spark plug connecting element. The spark plug connecting element includes a first contact element and a second contact element. A resistor element is situated between the first contact element and the second contact element. The first contact element and the second contact element have a specific conductivity of 10S/m to 10S/m and the resistor element has a specific conductivity of 10S/m to 10S/m.

A method for manufacturing a spark plug. The method includes: furnishing an insulator; introducing into the insulator a material mixture that is configured to constitute a resistor paste, the material mixture containing ZrOand SiO; heating the insulator and the material mixture present therein to a temperature T of at least 870&#xb0; C., so that ZrOand SiOin the material mixture react at least partly to ZrSiO.

A spark plug electrode includes an electrode base body made of a first material and an ignition element made of a second material and forming an ignition surface for a spark plug. The electrode base body and the ignition element are integrally joined to each other via a welding seam. A mixing rate for the first or second materials is less than 15 weight percent in a half of the welding seam adjacent to the ignition element. A method for manufacturing a spark plug electrode includes: providing an electrode base body and an ignition element; carrying out a welding process joining the electrode base body and the ignition element while forming a welding seam, where a welding beam guided over the surface of the spark plug electrode by tilting a reflection element, thereby producing a welding seam at a joining point between the electrode base body and the ignition element.

A spark plug includes a housing, an isolator arranged in the housing, and a ground electrode arranged on a front surface of the housing on a combustion chamber side. The spark plug further includes a central electrode, a terminal stud, and a resistance element all of which are arranged in the isolator. The resistance element is spatially arranged between the central electrode and the terminal stud and connects the central electrode to the terminal stud. The ground electrode forms a spark gap together with the central electrode. The resistance element contains a resistance material that contains conductive particles and non-conductive particles. At least 80% of the non-conductive particles have a maximum diameter of 20 &#x3bc;m.

A spark plug electrode having greater mechanical stability. The spark plug electrode includes a base body and a noble metal pin situated on the base body, the base body and the noble metal pin being connected to each other by a connection zone. The connection zone has at least one first welding seam and one second welding seam.

A composite body made of at least two ceramic layers, in which the ceramic layers are permanently bonded to one another at defined bonding points by a contact layer made of a bonding material. To achieve a permanent, thermally stable bond of ceramic layers having different coefficients of thermal expansion, the bonding material has a low modulus of elasticity. During the manufacture of the composite body, the bonding points of the ceramic layers are pretreated to form a porous surface structure, the bonding material is applied to these bonding points, and after the ceramic layers are laid one on top of another with bonding points facing toward one another and bonding material lying between them, the assembled composite body is subjected to a heat treatment.
