The invention relates to a forging control method of a large-specification stepped shaft component. A forging drawing design is optimized, and a steel ingot is subjected to scarfing and shoulder cutting treatment before forging, so that a riser material is prevented from extending to a steel ingot body during forging production; special before-forging air-cooling temperature control heating is made, so that temperature stress and structural stress of the low-carbon steel ingot are overcome, the surface crack problem of a forge piece is avoided, the rejection rate is reduced, and the machiningallowance is reduced; a special tool is utilized to carry out notch design, firstly, triangular iron is used for nicking, and then a special narrow block is used for notch deformation, so that the material stripping problem at a step is reduced, and the problem that process materials are added due to wide anvil deformation of the notch is solved; and during forming deformation, narrow anvil forging is adopted, a square-octagon-hexadecagon-circle forging deformation mode is utilized in the small step deformation process, and the feeding amount of each time is controlled to be 0.6-0.85 time of the height of a blank before pressing, so that the eccentric problem is avoided, the machining allowance is reduced, the material utilization rate is improved, the production cost is reduced, and the product quality is stable.
