The invention discloses a method for acquiring a metal temperature forming limit diagram (TFLD). The method is characterized by comprising acquiring a TFLD of a high-strength steel plate thermal-forming process, and acquiring a TFLD of a lightweight alloy warm-forming process. The invention also discloses a test device of a TFLD. The test device is characterized by comprising a hydraulic tester, a mold, a mold heating furnace, an automatic feeding mechanism, a plate heating furnace, a plate fast-cooling device, a heating control system and a strain measurement analysis device. The method and the test device guarantee mold heating uniformity, do not change a plate forming temperature, satisfy temperature forming requirements, acquire the TFLD comprising the all-range isothermal or non-isothermal forming limit diagram in a test temperature range, have the advantages of simple operation, high automation degree and high work efficiency, and satisfy practical temperature forming process requirements.
