The structural, magnetic, and magnetostrictive properties of Sm(Fe1−xMnx)2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) alloys have been investigated. The alloys are almost single phase cubic Laves Sm(Fe, Mn)2 when x ≤ 0.15. The lattice parameter increases and Curie temperature and the magnetization at 295 K decrease with increasing Mn content of the Sm(Fe1−xMnx)2 compounds. The spin-reorientation temperature for ⟨110⟩ to ⟨111⟩ of Sm(Fe1−xMnx)2 decreases from 200 K for x = 0 to 140 K for x = 0.15, indicating the increasing anisotropy of the Mn-substituted compounds. The magnetostriction coefficient λ111 of the Sm(Fe1−xMnx)2 compounds slightly decreases with Mn substitution and maintains a value larger than 1900 ppm for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15. The linear anisotropic magnetostriction λa = λ − λ for the Sm(Fe1−xMnx)2 alloys decreases with increasing Mn content, which may be ascribed to the decrease of λ111 and the increased anisotropy.
