HONDA CR 80 1990 - 2002 GRADE B 46.95mm SINGLE RING REPLICA
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex Silicon aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity cast or hydraulic forging and refined with a hi-tech Heat Treatment process using solubilization by quench in hot water. The machining is completed using CNC machines, software, and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating is also available, offering increased hardness and light surface porosity for superior adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating. This replica piston is Grade B, 46.95mm, and has a single ring.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Premium Vertex Grade B Replacement Piston
The Vertex Grade B 46.95mm single ring replica piston is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of high performance engines. Crafted using advanced metallurgy and precision manufacturing techniques, this piston offers superior durability and consistent performance for your machine.
Advanced Construction and Materials
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys to ensure structural integrity under extreme operating temperatures. Depending on the specific application, these pistons are created using either gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes. The material structure is further refined through a cutting-edge heat treatment process, involving solubilization and a hot water quench, to maximize strength and resilience.
Precision Engineering
Every piston is machined on state-of-the-art CNC equipment utilizing diamond tooling. This ensures precise tolerances and specific surface finishes tailored to the internal environment of your engine. Each unit undergoes a rigorous manual and automatic quality control inspection to ensure it meets the highest standards for performance and reliability.
Enhanced Surface Coatings
To ensure longevity and smooth operation, these pistons feature sophisticated coating technologies:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black finish that assists during the initial break-in period and significantly reduces friction while the piston operates within the cylinder.
- Phosphate Coating: Drawing from Formula One engine technology, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides a light porosity. This creates superior adhesion for the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability of the coating compared to standard applications.
