  Four 9-cell TESLA superconducting cavities have been fabricated with Ningxia OTIC niobium material, including two fine grain and two large grain niobium cavities. The cavities have been tested after post treatments. At the early stage (PKU1 and PKU2), the gradient was about 23 MV/m. The gradient of PKU3 reached 28.4 MV/m, but the Q is low. The newest large grain 1.3 GHz 9-cell TESLA type SRF cavity (PKU4) has been made with careful control of machining, and improved surface treatment and electron beam welding. The maximum of gradient is 32.4 MV/m and the intrinsic quality factor (Q0) is 1.3x1010, which meet the requirement for ILC both in accelerating gradient and intrinsic quality factor.
