Purpose This paper presents a study aimed at determining the effect of the carburizing treatment process and the subsequent grinding process on the residual stresses occurring in ring-shaped specimens made of 13CrMo4-5 steel. Design/methodology/approach During the tests, vacuum carburizing was used, achieving an effective case depth ECD = 0.5 mm. Subsequently, the cylindrical outer surfaces of the samples were ground by conventional plunge grinding and with innovative kinematics using a test stand based on a conventional flat-surface grinding machine. As part of the study, microhardness and residual stresses were measured before and after grinding. Measurements were carried out to a depth of 1 mm. The main component of the stand is an original special device that allows the cylindrical specimen to be clamped. Then the angle between its axis of rotation and the axis of rotation of the grinding wheel is set with respect to the plane of the grinding machine’s magnetic table. In the described tests, the axis of rotation of the cylindrical specimen was deviated from its original position by 15° and set at an angle of 75° to the axis of rotation of the grinding wheel. The specimens were ground with a grinding wheel of noble electro-corundum marked 38A60K8V. In both kinematic cases of the grinding process, a machining allowance of 0.01 mm was removed. Findings Grinding using innovative kinematics did not cause any significant changes in the microhardness distribution, either for vacuum or conventional carburizing. In addition, residual stress measurements using the Dawidenkov-Sachs method showed that innovative grinding enables a more favourable distribution than those obtained after conventional plunge grinding. Research limitations/implications Further research will focus on, among others, selecting the angular settings of the workpiece axes relative to the grinding wheel axes depending on their dimensions. Grinding guidelines should include coverage ratio, infeed value, grinding time, and peripheral speeds. In addition, the plan for future research includes measuring the components of the grinding force and the geometric structure of the surface. Practical implications Grinding process is a crucial stage of steel treatment in almost every industrial branch. In sustainable manufacturing, it is extremely important to produce high-quality items while reducing the cost of manufacturing and taking care of the environment and workers’ health. Originality/value The proposed test stand, together with the authors’ device, makes it possible to conduct machining of the external surfaces of cylindrical workpieces on a flat surface grinder. In this case, the innovation of the grinding process consists of the non-parallel alignment of the cylindrical rotational axis of the specimen and the rotational axis of the grinding wheel with respect to the plane of the magnetic grinding table.
