For developing bulk metallic glasses with high glass forming ability (GFA) and good mechanical properties, Cu 922x Zr x Al 8 (x535-65 at-%) alloys have been studied by means of tilt mould casting method. The largest glassy rod with a critical diameter of 18 mm in this alloy series was obtained for Cu 42 Zr 50 Al 8 alloy. The Hruby factor is appropriate for evaluating GFA in the cast Zr-Cu-Al bulk glassy alloy. The bulk metallic glasses with high GFA exhibit good mechanical properties, i.e. compressive fracture strength of 1783-2240 MPa, Young's modulus of 90-123 GPa and plastic strain of 0-0?73%.

Wide plate, wide plate weld, pipeline girth weld and plate welded of panel used to the storage tank were wholly stretched by 2000T wide plate tensile test machine when using the related fixture. Tensile strength, initiation crack position of the joint crack, tolerance of the existing defects of welded joint, possibility of the crack propagation and fracture were studied. Their weak links were found, the formation of defects were avoided by welding technology and technical means. The closed loop control was realized by using advanced servo valve and high performance measure and control system, computer technology was used fully, multifunctional test control of the machine was realized. A number of servo cylinder precise synchronous control loading mechanism was adopted by 2000 T wide plate tensile testing machine, the design of its loading mode, servo cylinder, sensor installation layout and combined structure of super power sensor was the first in China, which created a platform for the development of large structure testing machine in the future.
