ABSTRACT:
A spark plug and method of construction is provided, wherein the spark plug has a generally annular ceramic insulator and a metal shell surrounding at least a portion of the insulator. A ground electrode is operatively attached to the shell, wherein the ground electrode has a ground electrode sparking surface. The spark plug further includes a center electrode having an elongate body with a center electrode sparking surface. The sparking surface of the center electrode and the ground electrode sparking surface provide a spark gap. A brazed joint bonds at least one of the insulator to the shell or the center electrode to the insulator.
