They have other books too, some more specific to types of alloys used and/or processes used.

Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly, by Boothroyd, Dewhurst and Knight, has a lot of information on casting. I strongly recommend a chat with your intended supplier.

Quite realistically however the details you’re looking for need to be driven by the specific vendor doing the casting.

ASM would be my first pick for such subjects as well.
