You don't heat the whole thing up, you heat up the single part you are going to be beating down into a dead coil.
that kinda heat wont change the properties of steel. getting it hot enough to bend will though. now if your only doing it to bend a small amount then you wont have as many problems, however do to conduction the heat will move down the spring, changing the properties of the steel as it goes.
probly wont make a differince, but you can run cut springs without making a dead coil.
