ITEM 5.  Niles, Ohio - RTI International Metals, Inc. (NYSE: RTI) announced
         today that it has amended its unsecured credit agreement with a group
         of banks led by PNC Bank of Pittsburgh as agent. The amended agreement
         replaces the existing $100 million facility that expires on May 31,
         2005.

         The amended facility will provide RTI with $90 million of standby
         credit through May 31, of 2008. The Company has the option to increase
         the amended facility to $100 million without prior bank group approval.
         The terms and conditions of the amended facility remain essentially
         unchanged except that the tangible net worth covenant in the replaced
         facility was eliminated in the amended facility. The company has no
         plans to utilize the facility except for the issuance of letters of
         credit.



                                    SIGNATURE
