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.
Bronze is obtained by mixing copper with other metals, typically tin. The specific proportions of copper and tin can vary, but typically bronze contains around 90% copper and 10% tin. The metals are melted together and then cooled to form the alloy bronze.
Yes this is a physical change because they are melting it and then it's being changed by the heat of the torch but heat is a physical change.
Bronze is an alloy, which is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals.
It's a chemical change. Copper oxidizes to form copper oxide, which is similar to iron rusting. A color change very often indicates a chemical change.
Yes, hammered copper is a physical change. When copper is hammered, its shape and size change, but its chemical composition remains the same.
The melting of copper is a physical change because it involves a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid without altering the chemical composition of copper itself.
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.
It is chemical. The copper in bronze turns green when it oxidizes.

Bronze is an alloy (copper-tin), not a chemical element.
Iron rusting is a chemical change since it involves the formation of new substances due to a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen. Copper melting, water freezing, and gas condensing are physical changes where the substances may change state but do not form new chemical compounds.
Answer: The new smelting processes made them stronger -Apex
The melting temperature of bronze is between that of tin and copper based on the amount of each in the alloy, usually around 950 degrees C (1750 F). Bronze is an alloy of Copper (90%) and Tin (10%) although other metals are added to change characteristics such as lead, or gold or silver. The actual proportions of copper and tin (or other metals) can vary depending on the intended use of the alloy. Copper melts at approximately 1100 degrees C (2000 degrees F) and pure tin melts much at much lower temperatures -approximately 230 degrees C (450 degrees F). The ratio of these and other metals will determine the actual melting point of the metal you have.
A physical change is one where no new substance is produced. Melting is an example of a physical change. When you melt iron, you get liquid iron, it's still the same chemical substance. If you melt copper, you get liquid copper, not liquid iron.
