Abstract We report a Sn-bonded La0.8Ce0.2(Fe0.95Co0.05)11.8Si1.2 bulk composite with improved mechanical and magnetocaloric properties. La0.8Ce0.2(Fe0.95Co0.05)11.8Si1.2 powders with a bimodal particle size distribution were mixed with a binder of Sn powder and hot pressed at a relatively low temperature of 423 K (150 °C). The use of bimodal size-distributed powder can reduce the non-magnetic Sn content. A bimodal particle size distribution of coarse particles (180–250 μm) and fine powders (
