description The effect of B-doping on the martensitic transformation (MT), microstructure, room temperature (RT) crystal structure, and magnetocaloric properties of a typical all-d-metal Ni<sub>37.5</sub>Co<sub>12.5</sub>Mn<sub>35</sub>Ti<sub>15</sub> quaternary alloy was studied by synthesizing melt-spun ribbon samples of nominal composition (Ni<sub>37.5</sub>Co<sub>12.5</sub>Mn<sub>35</sub>Ti<sub>15</sub>)<sub>100−x</sub>B<sub>x</sub> with <i>x</i> = 0.0 and 0.4. For B-free samples, SEM images show a grain-oriented microstructure formed by the columnar in shape-elongated grains with their major axis oriented along the thermal gradient during solidification. By contrast, the B-doped samples show smaller grains whose orientation tends to be perpendicular to the contact surface with the copper wheel. For all samples, austenite (AST) and martensite (MST) phases exhibited a cubic B2-type and 5M monoclinic crystal structure, respectively. The martensitic transition temperature (<i>T</i><sub>M</sub>) and the Curie temperature of the austenite phase (<i>T</i><sub>C</sub><sup>A</sup>) were reduced from 295 K to 253 K and 333 K to 276 K, respectively, with the addition of B. The effect of thermal annealing for different times (from 30 min to 4 h) at 1073 K was studied. Thermal annealing increases the martensitic transformation temperature, whereas <i>T</i><sub>C</sub><sup>A</sup> remains unchanged. The maximum magnetic field-induced entropy changes |Δ<i>S</i><sub>T</sub>|<sup>max</sup> for B-doped samples were around 4.5 J kg<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup> and 4.7 J kg<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup> for as-solidified and annealed samples (1073 K–4 h), respectively, compared to that found for the undoped samples (i.e., Δ<i>S</i><sub>T</sub> = 16 J kg<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>). However, the entropy reduction is accompanied by an increase in the full width at half-maximum of the ΔS<sub>T</sub>(<i>T</i>) curve.
