FTY is the static Tensile Yield stress (the stress the metal can withstand under tension before it starts to plastically deform)

FTU is the static Tensile Ultimate stress (the stress the metal can withstand under tension before it breaks)

FSU is the Shear Ultimate stress (the shear stress the metal can withstand before it breaks)

KSI is thousands of pounds per square inch - unit of stress in materials


Not 100% sure about FSU so I'd happily recieve any corrections
