                        TIMET ANNOUNCES PRICE INCREASES

     DENVER,  COLORADO . . . January 12, 2001 . . . Titanium Metals  Corporation
("TIMET")  (NYSE:  TIE)  announced  selling  price  increases  on new orders for
certain  grades  of  commercially   pure  titanium  and  alloy  titanium  ingot,
flatrolled, and forged products. These price increases will generally range from
7% to 15% on applicable products and reflect increases in certain  manufacturing
costs,  including  raw  materials  and  energy,  as well  as a need  to  improve
financial  performance.  Additionally,  TIMET will reduce or  eliminate  current
pricing 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 through the third quarter of this year. Except for
obligations under existing firm agreements,  orders for delivery after the third
quarter will not be accepted until later this year.

     Titanium Metals Corporation,  headquartered in Denver,  Colorado,  is a
leading worldwide integrated producer of titanium metal products. Information on
TIMET is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.timet.com/.
