Advanced Electrode Technology
Quality spark plugs incorporate cutting-edge electrode technology that sets them apart from standard offerings. The center electrode utilizes precious metals like iridium or platinum, which provide exceptional durability and performance characteristics. Iridium, with its high melting point and superior wear resistance, allows for smaller electrode diameters, typically around 0.4mm, compared to traditional copper core plugs. This fine-wire design requires less voltage to produce a spark while creating a more concentrated and powerful ignition point. The reduced electrode size also minimizes flame quenching, allowing the combustion flame to spread more efficiently throughout the chamber. These advanced materials maintain their performance characteristics even under extreme conditions, ensuring consistent spark generation throughout the plug's extended service life.
