What type of material is used to produce the
electrode employed for
?
Iridium is the same type of precious metal as
platinum. It is characterized by its extremely
high melting point and great strength.

Iridium has high material strength compared to
other materials and provides stable performance
under heavier driving conditions.
Because the electrical resistance is lower than
platinum and the base material of electrodes, nickel,
iridium is suitable for use in spark plug electrodes.
Iridium is harder than other materials and has great
material strength.
The melting point of iridium is approximately 680
°
C higher than
that of platinum and is difficult to melt even in the high
temperatures produced by electrical discharges and combustion.
