We report a study of the pinning properties of Fe/MgB2 tapes performed by means of ac magnetic susceptibility measurements. In particular, the third harmonic response has been measured as a function of the dc magnetic field up to 9 T, at different temperatures, for various frequencies and amplitudes of the ac field. The irreversibility line has been determined using the third harmonic onset criterion for samples made with different ball-milled MgB2 powders. The study of the harmonic response allows us to probe the nature of the vortex pinning and to analyse its influence on the enhancement of the irreversibility field in strongly ball-milled samples. We have also investigated the dynamical regimes governing the vortex motion in the tapes by comparing the experimental curves with numerical simulations of the non-linear diffusion equation for the magnetic field.
