<p>For producing a spark plug that has a high dimensional accuracy in the spark gap, a method is disclosed which comprises (a) preparing a semi-finished spark plug unit (100b) which comprises a center electrode (20) that has a leading end portion (22), a metal shell (50) that holds therein through an insulator (10) the center electrode (20) except the leading end portion (22) and a ground electrode (30) fixed to a leading end of the metal shell (50), (b) bending the ground electrode (30) so that a bent front portion (31) of the ground electrode (30) projects toward the leading end portion (22) of the center electrode (20), (c) putting an electrode tip (95) on a given part of the bent front portion (31) of the ground electrode (30) in such a manner that a front portion of the electrode tip (95) projects from the bent front portion (31) toward the leading end portion (22) of the center electrode (20) and (d) welding the electrode tip (95) to the given part of the bent front portion (31) of the ground electrode (30).</p> |
