Summary:To provide a spark plug for an internal combustion engine, in which a core material is easily prevented from being exposed.SOLUTION: A spark plug 1 for an internal combustion engine has: a cylindrical insulator 3; a center electrode 4 having a tip projected portion 41; a cylindrical housing 2; and a plug cover 5 provided to cover a sub combustion chamber 50. The plug cover 5 comprises an injection nozzle 51 causing the sub combustion chamber 50 to communicate with the outside. The center electrode 4 has a base material 42 and a core material 6 arranged in the base material 42 and having a thermal conductivity larger than that of the base material 42. The core material 6 has a large-diameter portion 61 and a small-diameter portion 62 formed to be continuous with a tip side of the large-diameter portion. The small-diameter portion 62 has a small-diameter columnar portion 621 having a diameter smaller than that of the larger-diameter portion 61, and having a constant diameter at least in a portion in an axial direction Z. At least a portion of the small-diameter columnar portion 621 is arranged more on a tip side than the tip of the insulator 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】芯材の露出を防ぎやすい、内燃機関用のスパークプラグを提供すること。【解決手段】内燃機関用のスパークプラグ1は、筒状の絶縁碍子3と、先端突出部41を有する中心電極4と、筒状のハウジング2と、副燃焼室50を覆うよう設けられたプラグカバー5と、を有する。プラグカバー5には、副燃焼室50を外部に連通させる噴孔51が設けられている。中心電極4は、母材42と、母材42内に配されるとともに母材42よりも熱伝導率が高い芯材6と、を有する。芯材6は、大径部61と、その先端側に連続して形成された小径部62とを有する。小径部62は、大径部61よりも直径が小さく、かつ軸方向Zの少なくとも一部において直径が一定となる小径柱状部621を有する。小径柱状部621の少なくとも一部は、絶縁碍子3の先端よりも先端側に配されている。【選択図】図1
