iridium Spark Plug

Description

– Iridium spark plugs are a type of spark plug that utilizes a small, laser-welded tip of iridium on the center electrode.
– This design offers several advantages over traditional copper or platinum spark plugs, including improved durability, better ignitability, and potentially enhanced fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Key Features:
Durability:
Iridium is a very hard and durable metal with a high melting point, making it resistant to wear and corrosion, leading to a longer lifespan than other spark plugs.
Improved Ignitability:
The fine iridium tip allows for a more focused and powerful spark, improving combustion efficiency, especially at lower engine speeds or in cold weather, according to DENSO Global.
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency:
By improving combustion, iridium spark plugs can contribute to better fuel economy, says POLO Motorrad.
Better Engine Performance:
Improved ignitability can lead to smoother engine operation, better throttle response, and potentially increased horsepower and torque.
Reduced Emissions:
More complete combustion can result in lower emissions.
Lower Required Voltage:
The fine iridium tip allows for a wider spark gap, while still maintaining a lower required voltage for ignition
