When you forge a piece of metal, the high pressures "collapses" the individual grains. The result is a little denser, and will tend to bend rather than break. It can be a lot stronger than a casting, or the same shape cut out of a flat lump of metal. The surface, since it took the highest loads will often be the strongest, and the less you can disturb this surface, the tougher the part.
