[MW:4349] Aluminium Welding

Dear All,


Need to weld Aluminium of grade 5052 for 5mm thick plates in both BUTT and FILLET welding. Kindly suggest which type of power source (Arc, TIG, MIG) will be most suitable for this application. 

We tried using LH409 welding electrode (3.2mm ) in EP mode. We get a good weld result with BUTT joints but Fillet doesnt hold any strength , any reasons why ?
