Abstract
A spark plug ground electrode assembly including a ground electrode having a ground electrode base defining a receptacle. A base flange extends about less than an entirety of the receptacle to define an open lateral end of the receptacle. The open lateral end of the receptacle is arranged to receive a ground electrode pad slid into the receptacle and onto a support surface in a direction perpendicular to a spark plug longitudinal axis. The flange of the ground electrode pad is arranged between the base flange and the support surface to restrict movement of the ground electrode pad along the spark plug longitudinal axis. A welding is at the open end of the receptacle to restrict movement of the ground electrode pad in the direction perpendicular to the spark plug longitudinal axis.
