Cast vs Forged vs Bar
Cast vs Forged vs Bar
(OP)
We regularly receive request from our vendors to accept one product form for other.
Say plate/sheet machined flanges for forged flanges, cast for forged body etc.
How to judge whether we can accept one form in place of other.
I understand a few concepts such as forged is better than cast etc.
Is there any code or any document which can help me to understand this more precisely ?

RE: Cast vs Forged vs Bar
It the parts are very lightly loaded and cost is the most important criteria the decision could be easy to make.
If you need high integrity parts with good fracture toughness and fatigue resistance then you may come to a different conclusion.
I don't think one size fits all and making the correct decision needs a detailed evaluation.

You appear to be in fabrication industry - Are you reading and interpreting the specifications already written (like a purchasing or QA division) for a separate fabrication group or company, or are you "building" parts designed by others and by other companies to meet their standards, or are you just starting and are doing the designing yourself?
