Here we report the analysis of test data from AGC-1 specimen 3-pt flexure testing. At this time all mechanical (flexural) testing of AGC-1 specimens has been completed. Individual force-extension curves are available as .txt files recorded electronically and are available from the author (burchelltd@ornl.gov). This Technical Memorandum meets Idaho National Laboratories statement of Work No. 10752 Rev. 3 deliverable 4.4C “Issue a draft ORNL TM report summarizing the results and data analysis of all mechanical testing to INL no later than May 15, 2015.” The data and analysis was provided in a timely fashion as an excel s/s with data analysis plots. This TM follows on and formalizes transmission of the data. The major conclusion from this analysis is that there is no additional effect of creep strain on the flexure strength of graphite.
