ABSTRACT:
In a spark plug, a nickel-alloyed center electrode has a front end which has a constricted end forming a spark gap with a ground electrode by way of a noble metal firing tip. The noble metal firing tip is secured to a front end surface of the constricted end by applying a laser beam welding to an interface between the constricted end and the firing tip all through their circumferential length so as to form a wedge-shaped welding solidification portion.
