The invention provides a three-directional near-isotropy high-performance aluminum alloy cylindrical forge piece manufacturing process. The manufacturing process specifically comprises the following steps of raw material size design, cast ingot quality detection, heating before ingot casting, multi-directional forging, return to a furnace for heating, Z-direction upsetting and punching, return toa furnace for heating, core shaft drawing out, return to a furnace for heating, saddle forging, machining, heating before rolling, ring rolling, solution treatment, aging treatment and quality detection. According to the manufacturing process, an aluminum alloy cylindrical forge piece is subjected to nearly equal deformation in three directions, so that the three-direction performance of a productis nearly isotropic; a thick residual crystalline phase in cast-state structure is fully crushed so as to provide structure preparation for second phase uniform dispersion distribution in the heat treatment process; a second phase in the structure is fully dissolved, the degree of supersaturation is improved, the material potential is excavated to the maximum extent, and the performance limit ofa material is exerted; and the small reduction rate is adopted, the quenching water temperature is increased, the stress in the product manufacturing process is reduced, so that the residual stress ofthe forge piece is controlled within a certain range.
