Zehoua HAMOUCHE

Zehoua HAMOUCHE is a Senior Lecturer at Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) with a joint affiliation at CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers). He has been active since September 2012 and conducts research at the Processes and Materials Engineering Laboratory (PIMM), focusing on the behavior and microstructure of metallic materials. His responsibilities include coordinating institutional diplomas in industrial production management and teaching specialized courses in metallurgy.

Research Focus: HAMOUCHE investigates correlations between manufacturing processes, microstructure, and properties of metallic materials, with emphasis on:

• Embrittlement mechanisms (liquid metals/environmental factors)
• Additive manufacturing (Laser Powder Bed Fusion)
• Damage evolution in metal-matrix composites
• Hyperdeformation and plastic deformation mechanisms

Recent Research Trends: His 2018-2021 publications primarily explore additive manufacturing process optimization, micromechanical modeling of composites (Fe-TiB2), and in-situ damage analysis. Work frequently integrates experimental validation with computational homogenization techniques.

Student Advising: Actively co-supervises PhD candidates researching:

• SLM microstructures in architected materials (Julien RODRIGUES DA SILVA)
• Liquid metal embrittlement modeling (Antoine CLEMENT)
• Damage in Fe-TiB2 composites (Khaoula DORHMI)
• SLM process-property relationships in Inconel 625 (Thibaut DE TERRIS)

Laboratory & Teams: Leads projects within the PIMM Laboratory’s CoMet (Behavior and Microstructure of Metals) team, leveraging facilities for materials characterization, laser processing, and mechanical testing.
