Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neither technician is completely correct. The strength and cost of machined, cast, and forged components depend on various factors such as the material used, the complexity of the part, and the production volume. There is no definitive statement that can conclude that one manufacturing process is always stronger or less expensive than another.
