NGK - Iridium Spark Plugs
NGK iridium spark plugs currently represent the highest-quality technological solution. They feature an iridium-alloy on the middle electrode welded on in a special process using laser. One of the world’s hardest metals, the precious metal iridium starts melting at a temperature of 2450°C and is therefore very resistant to spark erosion. By using it, the service life is doubled on average in comparison to standard nickel spark plugs. As one of the world’s leading spark plug manufacturers, NGK SPARK PLUG has been igniting sparks since the 1930s. But sparks don’t just simply ignite. It takes a high amount of precision to create spark plugs that perform their task well and are extremely resistant in doing so.

Spark Plug Requirements
As the main source of power in any petrol engine, a spark plug performs an essential function: It is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of petrol engines. This combustion process creates power, ultimately setting the vehicle in motion. To make sure the combustion process runs smoothly, the spark delivered by the spark plug must ignite just before the piston reaches its highest point and the compression is at its greatest.
