A random population of shafts was selected for the study, for which, depending on the type of rolling process, turning was performed, measuring stress changes after successive machining passes. In the forged shafts studied, the existence and location of internal defects were identified using computed tomography. The impact of internal defects on the stress distribution on the surface of the machined workpiece was observed. It was observed that the use of the X-ray method to measure residual stresses makes it possible to determine the state of stresses and their distribution, which is crucial for the safety and durability of shaft-type parts, and allows the impact of a defect on the distribution of residual stresses to be identified. On the basis of the results obtained, it was observed that there is a correlation between the occurrence of internal defects in forged shafts and the distribution of residual stresses in characteristic sections along the length of the shaft after machining
