Abstract: A dielectric composition, including: dielectric grains containing a main component represented by a composition formula [(CaxSr(1-x))O]m[(TiyHfzZr(1-y-z))O2] (m is more than 1.020); a grain boundary phase located between the dielectric grains; and segregation grains each containing at least Ca, Si, and O. A first segregation grain is defined as a segregation further containing Mn among the segregation grains each containing at least Ca, Si, and O, and a second segregation grain is defined as a segregation containing substantially no Mn among the segregation grains each containing at least Ca, Si, and O. N1/(N1+N2) is more than 0.23 and 1.00 or less, in which N1 is a number density of first segregation grains in a cross-section of the dielectric composition, and N2 is a number density of second segregation grains in the cross-section of the dielectric composition.

Abstract: A rustproofing agent for a zinc plated steel sheet is provided which contains (A) a chromium aqueous solution containing an organic substance and (B) an acid metal such as a metal salt of nitric acid or phosphoric acid. All of the chromium in the chromium aqueous solution of component. A is trivalent chromium. It is preferable if the organic substance in component A contains at least one type of oxy acid or oxide thereof. The metal in the acid metal salt of component B is an alkaline earth metal, cobalt, nickel, iron, zirconium, titanium, etc. It is also preferable if (C) a water-dispersible silica is contained as an additional component. The present invention also provides a zinc plated steel sheet, in which at least one side of the surface of a zinc plated steel sheet is coated with the zinc plated steel sheet rustproofing agent and the rustproofing agent dried to form a coating with a dry coating weight of 0.01 to 3 g/m2.
