The purpose of the present study was to analyze the magnetocaloric effect around a second order phase transition (around the Curie temperature) which has a smaller thermal hysteresis compared to a first order phase transition (Martensitic transition). The Curie temperature of the ribbons shifted to higher temperatures with increasing Cu content. A conventional magnetocaloric effect (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 </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;">  </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">data using thermodynamic Maxwell equation.
