What is the Spark Plug of the Engine Made of?
There are different parts of a sparking plug and they are made with different types of materials. In the image (spark plug diagram), you will see the basic parts of it.
Such as steel shells, electrodes, and insulators. The electrode is made with nickel alloys, and the steel shell is made with steel wire.
There is another major white part that is called the spark plug insulator. This insulator is made with broken material (aluminum oxide ceramic). The scientific name of this ceramic material is 3Al2O3.2SiO2. (source)
Sparking Plug Ceramic Part vs Window Glass of a Car
I think you may be confused to understand the difference between the ceramic of a spark creator and a window.
Glass is a transparent, solid, and non-crystalline material that is used for many purposes. (source)
For breaking the window of a car, many people use the ceramic part of a spark creator technically. So this ceramic part of a sparking plug (see the image above) is also important for breaking the glass of a vehicle.
