The invention relates to a 
heating furnace low-
NOx combustion control method based on a gas fuel, which comprises the following steps: 1) controlling the 
hearth atmosphere of a soaking section to be weak oxidizing 
atmosphere, so that the fuel is completely combusted in the soaking section, and the 
flue gas does not contain CO; 2) controlling the 
hearth atmosphere of each heating section in a high-temperature section to be a 
reducing atmosphere, so that the CO content in the 
flue gas entering a low-temperature heating section from the high-temperature section is 3-10%; 3) controlling the 
hearth atmosphere of the heating section to be a 
reducing atmosphere, so that the CO content in the 
flue gas of the low-temperature heating section is not more than 1.5%; and (4) an air 
nozzle is additionally arranged on a preheating section, when the CO content in the 
flue gas of the preheating section is larger than 1%, an air 
nozzle is opened to burn residual CO, the air 
nozzle is closed until the CO content is zero, and it is guaranteed that an air excess coefficient of the preheating section is larger than 1.2. Generation of 
flue gas NOx in the high-temperature section is reduced, meanwhile, residual fuel is combusted through the low-temperature section, and the heat 
absorption efficiency of a steel billet is improved.
