If the Ni alloy is age hardenable then this will not work. The micro hardness will be greatly effected if the indentor hits a precipitate, where as macro tests will give you and average.
I you need small indention a superficial Rockwell may the best that you can do. Even then you will need your own conversion and you won't be able to certify it.
