Could somebody tell me the n & r values and UTS for, SAE 950
 
HUH? SAE950 is not a steel specification. 950 is a HSLA Strength grade, however usually n & r values are not specified for HSLA steels.
 
950 is the old designation according to SAE J1392. The new designation is 340 according to SAE J2340. The UTS is specified to be a minimum of 410 MPa. n-value is not a requirement of this standard, and its value will change with strain. The following presentation from US Steel shows some data for HSLA 340 steel:


The r-value will depend on whether it is cold-rolled or hot-rolled, but you can use r ~ 1 for an estimate.
