Abstract
A cutting element has a thermally stable polycrystalline diamond layer formed on an upper side of a polycrystalline diamond layer. The cutting element has a cutting face opposite the polycrystalline diamond layer, a transition layer on a side of the polycrystalline diamond layer opposite the thermally stable polycrystalline diamond layer, and a non-planar interface between the transition layer and the polycrystalline diamond layer. The non-planar interface has a perimeter exposed around a side surface of the cutting element encircling an interior of the non-planar interface and an uppermost portion of the perimeter is a distance from the cutting face greater than an axial distance between the cutting face and the interior.
