The invention discloses a short-process 
forging method for a 
nuclear power main 
pipe billet channel. The short-process 
forging method reduces 
forging difficulty and forging heating number and comprises the steps as follows: A, selecting steel ingots and removing damage of the steel ingots; B, pressing a plier 
handle and rolling; C, upsetting, 
swaging and octagonally forging; D, rolling, distributing and 
swaging; and E, locally upsetting a 
flange at a 
pipe mouth, and discharging a finished product. With the adoption of the method, the main 
pipe mouth part is subjected to local covering and local upsetting for forming, the forging difficulty and the forging heating number are reduced, the forging cost is reduced, and the forging efficiency is improved; meanwhile, the 
forge piece surface 
cracking is prevented from aspects of steel 
ingot surface quality, plier 
handle and end surface transition fillet, end surface inclination, 
forge piece 
water gap reservation, small rolling reduction forming, 
flame damage removing after forging and the like; and with the adoption of small rolling reduction forming, the 
forge piece surface quality is improved.
