Compared to standard spark plugs, NGK Laser Iridium offers a more efficient fuel burn and a longer lifespan. Iridium, with a 6.5 rating on the Mohs hardness scale, is the second-densest element and highly resistant to erosion and corrosion, even at extremely high temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius. Its outstanding electrical conductivity makes it a perfect choice for manufacturing premium spark plugs.
The laser-welded platinum disc on the ground electrode enhances durability, further extending the lifespan of the spark plug and minimizing wear. The coordinated functioning of both electrodes results in a more stable engine idle, superior anti-fouling, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.
Additionally, the taper-cut ground electrode reduces obstruction to the flame expansion, allowing for a more complete and efficient burn. This ultimately leads to increased miles per gallon (MPG) and improved overall performance of the engine.
