          Application No. 08/397,163                                                  


          A selected from among those meeting JIS standard SUS420J2 (the              
          type containing 0.26 to 0.40% C and 12.00 to 14.00% Cr) taking              
          into consideration the magnetic properties, the induction                   
          heating suitability, and the corrosion resistance.  The                     
          armature 6a, the guide portion 6c and rod 6b are integrally                 
          formed from this material.                                                  


               Kamiya discloses an electromagnetic fuel injector.  As                 
          shown in Figure 3, the electromagnetic fuel injector 21                     
          includes a valve housing 22 provided with a fuel injection                  
          nozzle 23 at its front end and a guide hole 24 extending along              
          its axis for guiding a plunger-like valve body 31.  A valve                 
          body 31 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 24.  An                    
          armature 34 is fixed to the rear end of the valve body 31.  A               
          fuel chamber 24a is defined between the fuel injection nozzle               
          23 and the front portion of the guide hole 24.  Kamiya teaches              
          that the arrangements of electromagnetic housing 27, fixed                  
          magnet core                                                                 
          28, exciting coil 29, terminal 30, O-ring seals 35, 36 and 37,              
          and fuel filter 38 are substantially identical with those in a              
          conventional electromagnetic fuel injector.  The fixed magnet
