Abstract
A ceramic insulator structure for use in a spark plug is manufactured by mixing granular or powdery particles of AlN, Si3N.sub.4 or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 with an organic binder and an auxiliary sintering agent, the average spherical diameter of the particles making up the resulting ceramic mixture being in the range 20-100 microns. The ceramic mixture is then pressed in a mold into a desired shape and sintered at a temperature of 1600.degree.-2000.degree. C.
