Transport critical current (I/sub c/) was measured for MgB/sub 2//Fe round wires, with the magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the wire and parallel to it. Measurements were made on a wire with a pure MgB/sub 2/ core and another wire where the MgB/sub 2/ core was doped with nano-size SiC. This doping strongly improved the vortex pinning in MgB/sub 2/. The field dependence of I/sub c/ was strongly improved due to the presence of the iron sheath. At 30 K, I/sub c/ did not depend on the field for fields between 0.09 and 0.7 T. At lower temperatures, I/sub c/ …
