Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect

     Item 6 is amended as follows.

     TIMET, TFMC and certain other subsidiaries of TIMET are parties to a $105.0
million  revolving credit and letter of credit facility dated as of February 25,
2000,  as  amended  and  supplemented   through  June  2,  2004  (the  "Congress
Facility"), with Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest)("Congress"). TFMC is
a guarantor of the Congress  Facility.  Borrowings  under the Congress  Facility
bear  interest at the rate  announced  publicly from time to time by Congress as
its base rate  plus  0.5% to 1.0% or at a rate of 2.0% to 2.5%  over the  London
interbank  offered rate of interest  ("LIBOR") (the interest rate depends on the
fixed charge  coverage  ratio as defined in the Congress  Facility)  and are due
February 25, 2006 or such extended maturity date as may be mutually agreed.  The
Congress Facility requires TIMET's U.S. daily cash receipts to be used to reduce
outstanding  borrowings,  which may then be reborrowed,  subject to the terms of
the agreement.  TFMC's guarantee of the Congress Facility is collateralized  by,
among other things, certain Class A Shares. On August 12, 2004, TFMC had pledged
all of its 2,212,820 Class A Shares under the Congress  Facility.  The foregoing
summary of the  Congress  Facility is  qualified in its entirety by reference to
Exhibits 3 through 8 to this Statement,  all of which are incorporated herein by
this reference.
