Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming a lining on the walls of an inner pipe of a cast aluminium-alloy part, including inserting a cathode into the pipe, circulating an electrolyte solution in said pipe between the cathode and the walls of the pipe forming an anode, and applying a potential difference between the anode and the cathode, the method being characterised in that applying the potential difference between the anode and the cathode includes applying a series of DC voltage pulses to the anode. The invention also relates to a cylinder head in which the exhaust pipes are lined with a lining obtained by implementing said method.
