I'm not an engineer, but have a question.

Cast aluminum has a granular crystal quality in it's structure. Milled
Aluminum (hammered, rolled) does not.

Of two identical parts, one a machnined aluminum casting, and the other
machined in milled aluminum, which would most likely have the best 1)
strength 2) heat transfer properties.

Inquiring minds would like to know!

Anybody??

Thanks,
