Spark plug insulators are typically formed by

  • A.injection moulding using a large organic binder content
  • B.dry bag isostatic pressing followed by green machining
  • C.slip casting into carefully made multi-part plaster moulds
  • D.extrusion of a plastic body through a shaped die

Answer: B

Correct answer: dry bag isostatic pressing followed by green machining

A spark plug insulator is a long, slender shape with a central bore, which is exactly what isostatic pressing does well and a die does badly. The dry bag arrangement keeps the flexible mould in the machine so that the cycle can be automated to high volume, and the external profile is then turned in the green state before firing.
