deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement
to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
 
     Inapplicable.
 
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
 
     The validity of the issuance of the securities being registered has been
passed upon for the Company by R. E. Hilton, Esq., Assistant General
Counsel-U.S. Steel Group, USX Corporation. Mr. Hilton's salary and benefits are
paid by USX Corporation which owns nearly 52% percent of RMI's outstanding
common stock.
 
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     Article IV of the RMI's Code of Regulations provides that RMI shall
indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is made or is
threatened to be made a party or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director or officer of RMI or is or was serving at the
request of RMI as a director, trustee or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.
 
     RMI is empowered by Section 1701.13 of the Ohio General Corporation Law,
subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the
right of RMI, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member,
manager, or agent of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for
profit), a limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of
 
                                      II-1
   3
 
the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Corporation may
indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorney's fees) in an
action by or in the right of the Corporation under the same conditions, except
that 1) no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person
is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duty to the Corporation and 2) no indemnification is permitted for actions
asserted pursuant to Section 1701.95 (Unlawful loans, dividends and distribution
of assets) of the Ohio General Corporation Law. To the extent such person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to
above, the Corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including
attorney's fees) which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith.
 
     Under Section 1701.13 of the Ohio General Corporation Law, a corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance with respect to any liabilities asserted
against a director or officer, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify such person against liability under Ohio General Corporation
Law. Policies of insurance are maintained by the Corporation, under which
directors and officers of RMI are insured, within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with the
defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be
imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are
parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers.
 
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
 
     Inapplicable.
 
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
 
     Refer to Exhibit Index following.
 
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
             (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;
 
             (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the registration statement;
 
             (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
        or any material change to such information in the registration
        statement;
 
        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
        if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
        by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
        registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
        registration statement.
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
                                      II-2
   4
 
     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     THE REGISTRANT.  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Niles, State of Ohio, on the 28th day of
September, 1995.
