Powders of roller quenched (Sr,Ba)O-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-{sup 2}SiO{sub 2} glasses of various compositions were uniaxially pressed into bars and hot isostatically pressed at 1350{degree}C for 4 hours or cold isostatically pressed and sintered at different temperatures between 800 to 1500{degree}C for 10 or 20 hours. Densities, flexural strengths, and linear thermal expansion were measured for three compositions. The glasss transition and crystallization temperatures were determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The liquidus and crystallization temperature from the melt were measured using high temperature Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). Crystalline phases formed on heat treatment of the glasses were identified by powder x ray diffraction. In Sr containing glasses, the monoclinic celsian phase always crystallized at temperatures above 1000{degree}C. At lower temperatures, the hexagonal analog formed. The temperature for orthorhombic to hexagonal structure transformation increased monotonically with SrO content, from 327{degree}C for BaO-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-{sup 2}SiO{sub 2} to 758{degree}C for SrO-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-{sup 2}SiO{sub 2}. These glass powders can be sintered to almost full densities and monoclinic celsian phase at a relatively low temperature of 1100{degree}C.
