Emissive compositions are described that can be applied as a coating to the surface of an investment casting mold to increase or decrease the rate of cooling of a casting within the mold. A coating that decreases the rate of cooling of an investment casting within an investment casting mold may comprise a compound having an emissivity less than the emissivity of the mold; a high temperature glass-forming material and a solvent to make a slurry. Similarly, a coating that increases the rate of cooling may comprise a compound having an emissivity greater than the emissivity of the mold; a low temperature glass-forming material and a solvent to make a slurry. Also disclosed in a method of investment casting wherein an emissive composition is applied to the investment casting mold.
