I need to heat up a part of a circuit up to 300°C with ideally a 1.5V alkaline battery and I honestly have very little idea of how this stuff works. I was wondering if a short circuit constructed from a copper wire (60cm in length), tungsten wire (~0.5cm in length) and a 1.5V alkaline battery would work. The length of the wires comes from physical restraints. Will this just burn the battery before it even reaches the desired temperature? Is there possibly a way better solution to solving such a problem (300°C, 1.5V battery)?

This depends on the thickness of the tungsten wire. You can get really thick wires intended for high currents or thin wires for low currents. But 300 degrees is not very high so I would suspect that you can reach this in your setup. However the tungsten is going to burn up very fast when heated in atmosphere.
