Abstract :The magnetocaloric effect in Ni 50-x Cu x Mn 38 Sn 12 B 3 ribbons depending on the Cu substitution insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x= 0, 1, 3); was investigated around the Curie temperature. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the magnetocaloric effect around a second order phase transition insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(around the Curie temperature); which has a smaller thermal hysteresis compared to a first order phase transition insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Martensitic transition);. The Curie temperature of the ribbons shifted to higher temperatures with increasing Cu content. A conventional magnetocaloric effect insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCE); was observed around the Curie temperature when the ribbons are subjected to a magnetic field change of 5 T. The magnetic entropy changes were calculated based on the isothermal magnetization   data using thermodynamic Maxwell equation. The highest magnetic entropy change and the refrigerant capacity was obtained for the x=1 ribbon.
