  • Patent number: 11670915
    Abstract: A composite sparking component for a spark plug that has a thin precious metal layer with a series of grooves attached to an underlying base layer. The grooves allow the precious metal layer, and hence the entire composite sparking component, to be more easily bent or formed into a desired shape, while at the same time minimizing the amount of precious metal and providing enhanced sparking sites along the edges of the grooves. In one example, the composite sparking component is a sleeve-shaped component attached to a center electrode. In a different example, the composite sparking component is a ring-shaped component attached to a ground electrode. The precious metal layer may be bonded to the base layer in the form of a bimetal laminate structure, or the precious metal layer can be built on the base layer with the use of additive manufacturing, to cite several possibilities.
