The invention relates to two die bodies withe the same inventive concept and discloses a hardening calibration method for an X-ray CT beam and based on the die bodies. One X-ray CT beam hardening calibration die body comprises an upper part and a lower part, the upper part is a measurement structure, the main body of the upper part is a cylinder, the outer edge of the bottom face of the cylinder is an Archimedean spiral, step-shaped circular holes are formed in the outer edge of the bottom face of the cylinder, the diameter of the adjacent layers of the circular holes is equal to or slightly larger than the difference of the maximum radius and the minimum radius of the spiral, and an outer spiral parameter and an inner layer number are corrected according to the actual measurement demands;the lower part is an auxiliary structure which is divided into a holding area, a centering area and a clamping area from top to bottom, and the surface of the holding area is rough, convenience is provided for operation; the centering area is a smooth cylinder used for conducting centering operation on a detector; in the operation process, the radius of the corresponding inner layer is selected according to the required penetration distance, firstly, the centering area in the auxiliary structure is placed in the center of a view field for centering, then the die bodies are downwards moved, the steps of the inner layer, corresponding to the selected radius, in the measurement structure are placed in the center of the view field for 360-degree scanning.
