By melting the two metals and putting them together, you are creating an alloy, a homogenous mixture. The process does not change any atoms, so it is not a chemical reaction, but a physical change.

No, melting tin is a physical change. When tin is melted, its chemical properties do not change, only its physical state is altered. This process can be reversed by physical means without involving any chemical reactions. Thus, the change is physical.

Is melting copper an example of chemical change?

It can be. Temperature increases usually induce physical changes in the broad sense. If the change in temperature merely induces a state change (for instance, the copper is melted - becoming a liquid) then it is purely a physical change. Presuming that heating will occur in the presence of air, it will also increase the rate of oxidation and, therefore, be indirectly inducing a chemical change.
