Advanced Electrode Technology
The electrode technology incorporated in hybrid vehicle spark plugs represents a breakthrough in ignition system design. The use of precious metals like iridium and platinum in the electrode tips ensures exceptional durability and performance longevity. These materials possess superior resistance to erosion and corrosion, maintaining their precise dimensions even after extended use. The fine-wire center electrode design, typically measuring 0.4mm to 0.7mm in diameter, promotes more efficient ionization of the air-fuel mixture. This results in lower voltage requirements for spark initiation, reducing the strain on the vehicle's electrical system. The ground electrode features specialized designs that minimize quenching effects, allowing for more complete combustion of the fuel mixture. Advanced manufacturing techniques ensure precise electrode gap maintenance, critical for consistent spark performance in hybrid applications.
