The magnetic properties of Fe
3(1-x)Cr
3xC alloys with
x=0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2, which crystallize in the cementite Fe
3C-type structure with space group
Pnma, were investigated by means of magnetization measurements. These alloys show temperature-induced second-order magnetic phase transitions. The Curie temperature (
Tc) of these alloys decreases with increasing
x. The isothermal magnetic-entropy changes of these alloys were derived from the magnetic isotherms measured with increasing temperature and increasing field. The maximum values of the magnetic-entropy change are about 0.9 and 3.6 J·kg
