The particle size dependence of the mechanical properties and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in La0.8Ce0.2(Fe0.95Co0.05)11.8Si1.2/Sn composites were studied. The compressive strength (σbc) was in the range of 180–200 MPa for composites with particle sizes less than 180 μm, which is much higher than...
