The Role of Precious Metals in Spark Plugs—and Why It Pays to Recycle Them

Most people don’t associate spark plugs with rare materials, but the truth is, these small parts play a big role in the world of precious metal recycling. At Dingfeng Precious Metals, we focus on recovering platinum, iridium, and palladium from spark plugs in bulk—offering top prices and eco-friendly solutions.

How Precious Metals Power Spark Plugs

In high-temperature engine environments, traditional metals quickly break down. That’s why manufacturers use durable and rare metals like:

• Platinum: Resists wear and corrosion, used in both single- and double-platinum spark plugs.

• Iridium: Extremely hard and heat-resistant, often found in long-life spark plugs.

• Palladium: Sometimes used in electrode coatings due to its strong catalytic properties.

These metals are mined at great cost and environmental impact—but recycling them is efficient and far more sustainable.

Where the Value Comes From

Although each individual spark plug contains only a tiny amount of precious metal, when collected in large quantities, the value adds up. Dingfeng Precious Metals specializes in bulk evaluation and extraction, making it worthwhile for mechanics, recyclers, and importers to sell their spark plug scrap.
