Abstract :
Martensitic transformation temperatures of Ni50Mn35-xIn15Cux increase with Cu substitution, either in bulk alloys or ribbons, while Curie temperature of martensitic phase decreases. When x=4 and 5, the ferromagnetic phase transition coupled with martensitic transformation disappears. Comparison shows that ΔSM of bulk alloys is higher than that of the corresponding ribbons.
