Ferromagnetic La(FexSi1-x)(13) compounds with x greater than or equal to 0.87 show an itinerant metamagnetic transition above the Curie temperature T-C since a large volume change of about 1.5% is caused by the transition, the present compounds have a possibility for practical applications as giant magnetostrictive materials. To adjust T-C around room temperature, the effect of the substitution by other magnetic elements on the Curie temperature was examined. The Curie temperature of La(Fe0.88CoySi0.12-y)(13) compounds increases with increasing y and the itinerant electron metamagnetic transition appears above T-C. For y=0.03 and 0.04, a huge volume change of 0.6 similar to 0.9 %, or a linear change of 0.2 similar to 0.3%, due to the itinerant metamagnetic transition is observed around 250K.
