<p>A spark plug includes a tubular insulator, a center electrode, a tubular metal shell, a ground electrode, and a pillar body tip. The tubular insulator has an axial hole penetrating in the direction of an axis. The pillar body tip includes one end face that is welded to the ground electrode and another end face that forms a gap with a front end portion of the center electrode. The ground electrode includes a part where the tip is to be welded. The surface forms a clearance with a part including a constituent material of the tip. The ground electrode includes a surface where a plating layer is disposed. The plating layer covers a surface excluding a formation part of the clearance. The clearance has a size A that is equal to or more than 0.01 mm and equal to or less than 0.5 mm.</p> |
