Abstract: Bearing rings are thin-walled components prone to distortion during quenching. Achieving high-precision distortion control for bearing rings remains a critical challenge in high-precision bearing manufacturing. This paper proposes an AI-driven method for distortion control during bearing ring quenching in mesh-belt furnaces. The primary objective is to identify the optimal reverse motor frequency within the furnace. An experimental database is established using distortion results obtained at different reverse motor frequencies. This database serves as training data for deep learning. Subsequently, a large language model (LLM) employs few-shot learning to optimize and predict the reverse motor frequency influencing bearing quenching distortion. Results demonstrate that the LLM method achieves significantly higher prediction accuracy than traditional machine learning approaches. The optimization outcomes validate the effectiveness of generative AI in optimizing the reverse motor frequency of mesh-belt furnaces and controlling distortion during bearing ring quenching.
