Abstract: A method for forming a subsea cable or a joint for a subsea cable is provided including providing a cable assembly that has at least a first conductor and a first insulation system surrounding the first conductor and forming a water barrier layer surrounding a length of the cable assembly. The water barrier layer has at least one coating of a metal material applied using a thermal spraying technique. A joint and a subsea cable obtainable by the above method is also provided.

Abstract: A method of jointing a first subsea cable to a second subsea cable is provided. A first water barrier layer that surrounds a first cable core. The second subsea cable has a second water barrier layer that surrounds a second cable core. The method includes jointing the first and second water barrier layers. The jointing has the use of a solid-state diffusion process. Optionally, the jointing has bonding an intermediate water barrier to the first and/or second water barrier layers.

Abstract: A method of joining tubes with friction welding includes the steps of aligning end walls of tubes to be welded, introducing an intermediate tube segment between the tubes, and bringing the tube end walls together against opposing end walls of the tube segment to put the end walls under axial compressive stress at a friction ramp-up pressure. The method further includes rotating the intermediate tube segment about a tube segment longitudinal axis in at least one direction, increasing the axial compressive friction stress to a forging pressure in order to heat the end parts of the tube and the intermediate tube segment, and increasing the axial compressive friction stress to a forging pressure, thus joining the tubes and the tube segment. The tube segments have a tube wall made of a material resistant to hydrogen embrittlement.

Abstract: A power cable has a cable core with at least one conductor with an insulating system and a water barrier surrounding the cable core. The water barrier has a helically wound strength bearing layer interconnected by a low melting point material.
