Abstract
An improved structure of a spark plug is provided for improving heat dissipation from an Ir-alloy chip attached to a ground electrode. The Ir-alloy chip works to a sequence of sparks between itself and the tip of a center electrode mounted in a metal shell and is embedded in a center electrode-facing surface of the ground electrode, thereby enhancing the transmission of heat produced in the Ir-alloy chip to the metal shell through the ground electrode.
