The invention discloses a forging piece forming method based on differential temperature control. The method comprises the steps of placing a whole forging piece into a heating furnace, heating the forging piece to the temperature ranging from 600 DEG C to 800 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 2 hours to 3 hours, taking the forging piece out of the heating furnace, placing the forging piece inside a die cavity, warping a local low-temperature area by heat preservation cotton, placing the forging piece into the furnace again, and taking out the forging piece when the whole temperature of the forging piece is increased to range from 1000 DEG C to 1020 DEG C for forging, wherein at the moment, the temperature of the portion wrapped by the heat preservation cotton is 50 DEG C to 100 DEG C slightly lower than that of the other portions; placing a die forging piece forming device into the heating furnace, heating the die forging piece forming device to the temperature ranging from 200 DEG C to 250 DEG C, inserting a heating stick into a heating hole in an upper die insert, partially heating the die forging piece forming device to the temperature ranging from 350 DEG C to 400 DEG C, taking out the die forging piece forming device for forging, and utilizing the die forging piece forming device for forging and forming the forging piece. According to the forging piece forming method based on the differential temperature control, the forging piece forming filling rate is high, the service life of the die is long, grains of the forging piece are fine, the forming force of the die forging piece can be reduced to the great extent, and the service life of the hot-forging die is prolonged.
