Abstract
In a center electrode structure for spark plug including a tublar insulator, the inner side of which has a stepped shoulder to provide a diameter-reduced bore therein; a center electrode having a flange, and concentrically placed into the insulator with the flange engaging against the shoulder, and with one end being axially through the bore so as to be exposed to outside of the insulator; the center electrode having an electrically conductive core of copper or copper-based alloy which is encased into an enclosure made of oxidation and heat resistant nickel-based alloy; and the core being provided with a number of fractures in its granular structure so as to absorb thermal stress due to the thermal expansional difference between the core and enclosure.
