The invention discloses a hot forging forming method for a titanium alloy aviation three-way elbow joint. The hot forging forming method comprises the steps of feeding, heating and upsetting (or bending), shot blasting, defect checking and polishing and repairing, polishing, spraying, heating and pre-forging, pre-forging and trimming, shot blasting, defect checking and polishing and repairing, polishing, spraying, heating and finish forging, finish forging and trimming and the like. The step-by-step progressive forging forming process is adopted, the material volume of each step is reasonablycalculated, the material deformation of each step is reduced, and a surface treatment process is added before each forming step, so that the generation of folding and cracks is further reduced.
