Abstract

See full text

A material for a plug electrode having not only excellent oxidation wear resistance but also excellent spark wear, and also having adequately-considered discharge properties in use is provided. The present invention relates to a material for a plug electrode, comprising 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less of Cu, 0.1% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less of Ir, with the balance being Pt. Alloying by combining two metals of Cu and Ir can reduce discharge voltages and improve durability against spark wear. With addition of only one of them, the effect of improving spark wear properties is poor and the effect of reducing discharge voltages cannot be expected.
