Default forged internals?

Just had a quick question, what exactly are forged internals? I looked it up but couldn't find a definite answer...

stock internals are cast because it's cheaper and easier to mass produce

What makes an engine go kaboom even after you have upgraded it? Overboost? Weak block? And damn.. not only are those aftermarket H beam rods (forgot the brand) much bigger and thicker, they are stronger as well? Do people still shoot those rods?

a shitty tune wont help even with forged internals. lean conditions melt pistons, forged or not.
