Default What are forged pistons?

Does this just mean that the cylinder walls have been bored out? Or does it mean something else?

EDIT: Can your forge any pistons?

"Forging results in metal that is stronger than cast or machined metal parts. This stems from the grain flow caused through forging. As the metal is pounded the grains deform to follow the shape of the part, thus the grains are unbroken throughout the part. Some modern parts take advantage of this for a high strength-to-weight ratio." Straight out of Wikipedia.

Forging is a production process that strengthens metal. Forged anything is good, whether its pistons, rods, crankshafts, etc. Forged=strong(er).
