ABSTRACT:
A sparkplug having ground and/or center electrodes that include a firing tip formed by reflowing of an end of wire having an opposite end carried by a feed mechanism. The present invention also includes methods of manufacturing an ignition device and electrodes therefore having a firing tip, including providing a metal electrode having a firing tip region; providing a wire having a free end and another end carried by a feed mechanism; and reflowing the free end to form a firing tip.
