The invention belongs to the field of machining and relates to a machining method, in particular to a nuclear power semi-ring machining method. The problems that according to an existing technological scheme, the machining precision of a nuclear power semi-ring cannot be guaranteed, the working difficulty is increased for subsequent welding, and the welding quality is lowered are solved. The machining method specifically comprises the steps that firstly, a semi-ring blank is formed through casting; secondly, the surface of the semi-ring is turned by 121 mm on a vertical lathe, and the two planes are turned to 122 mm; thirdly, an inner hole, the outer circle line and two end face lines are marked on the semi-ring, and a line is marked in the position 55 mm away from the right side according to the dimension of 95 mm; fourthly, the two end faces of the semi-ring are milled on a boring mill, and the two end faces of the semi-ring are machined according to the dimension of 95mm; fifthly, the standard inner hole of the semi-ring is turned on the vertical lathe, and the volume of the outer circle is 3-5 mm; sixthly, tie bars are welded to the semi-ring in a matched mode by a bench worker; and seventhly, the tie bars are welded through electric welding.
