This article presents experimental results for tensile creep behavior of orthogonal three-dimensional woven Tyranno™ ZMI fiber/Si-Ti-C-O ceramic matrix composites at 1300°–1450°C in air. The composite contained Tyranno ZMI (56% silicon, 1% zirconium, 34% carbon, and 9% oxygen) fibers with a BN coating layer to improve interface properties, and it exhibited excellent tensile properties at elevated temperature in air. For creep stresses between 60 and 140 MPa, the creep rate decreased continuously with time, with no apparent steady-state regime observed at 1300°–1450°C. Under the test conditions, the microstructure of the Tyranno ZMI fiber and Si-Ti-C-O matrix was unstable, resulting in weight loss and SiC grain growth. As a result, the viscosity of the fiber and matrix increased, because increased viscosity caused a creep rate that continuously decreased, which made steady-state creep impossible under these conditions.
