DENVER, COLORADO . . . July 26, 2001 . . . Titanium Metals Corporation
("TIMET") (NYSE: TIE) announced selling price increases on new orders for

discounts on certain products.
The price increases are effective immediately, but will not apply to
certain industrial products or to orders under agreements with customers that
include specific provisions governing selling prices. TIMET is currently
accepting orders for delivery in 2002.
