Back when nikasil was first starting to be used in production bikes (my '96 was one of the first bikes with it) they said that nikasil was fairly soft at room temperature, but very hard once it warmed up. I have no idea if that is accurate now that people know more about it, but would be worth checking in to. I know the coating is less than the thickness of a human hair at .002-.003" thick.
