Will 350° F for one hour have any impact on springs? (Specifically, the springs used in an AR-15.)

No. Think of all the automotive valve springs in use for the last 100+ years.
Same material as in an ar-15 ?
If you stay below the tempering temperature you should have no problem. Most springs are tempered at a much higher temp than that. If you wind a new spring from music wire it is recommended to stress relieve it at 375F. You should be OK.

I'd guess bake it for cerakote. But I can't see why one wouldn't pull the screws to do that.what specifically are you trying to do to it?

and automotive springs under normal circumstances never reach such temperatures...

I was wondering if valve springs got up to 350° F. Sounded hot to me.
