Various types of industrial spark plugs can be used for different applications. The cold spark plug firing end does not transfer heat as rapidly as the hot one, and the hot spark plug firing end transfers heat much more efficiently. These spark plugs are classified by electrode material, including platinum, copper, iridium, and iridium. Copper electrode material is expected to dominate the automotive spark plug market during the forecast period. This is due to its better conductivity and reduced cost.
