DOMADIA™ NiMn4Si (DIN 2.4190) – The Spark Inside Every Engine
Have you ever wondered what breathes life into a cold engine with just a spark? Behind that ignition lies a small component built from a mighty alloy — one that survives heat, pressure, and time. Enter DOMADIA™ NiMn4Si, the unsung hero behind flawless spark plugs and glow plugs.
🔬 What is DOMADIA™ NiMn4Si?
DOMADIA™ NiMn4Si is a high-performance spark plug and glow plug alloy based on Nickel-Manganese-Silicon, designed for consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designated as DIN 2.4190, it’s ideal for applications
🧪 Chemical Composition: NiMn4Si
The typical composition of NiMn4Si includes:
- Nickel (Ni) – Balance (approx. 90–94%)
- Manganese (Mn) – ~4%
- Silicon (Si) – ~1–1.5%
- Trace additions may include Chromium, Titanium, Zirconium in related versions (e.g., NiMn2CrSiTiZr).
These elements create a metallurgical synergy offering both electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance.
🛠️ Applications of NiMn4Si Alloy
DOMADIA™ NiMn4Si is extensively used in:

- Automotive Engines: Spark plugs are essential in gasoline-powered vehicles to ignite the air-fuel mixture.
- Motorcycles: Spark plugs are vital for efficient combustion in motorcycle engines.
- Small Engines: From lawnmowers to generators, small engines rely on spark plugs.
- Aircraft Engines: Spark plugs are used in some aircraft engines for ignition.
- Marine Engines: Spark plugs are used in outboard motors and other marine engines.
- Furnaces and Other Applications: In certain industrial and domestic applications, spark plugs are used to ignite combustible mixtures.
- Spark Plugs – Ensures reliable ignition in gasoline engines
- Glow Plugs – Assists in diesel engine starting under low temperatures
- Heater Elements – Where fast heating and durability are needed
- Electrical Resistors – Due to stable resistance over temperature
