Are your welders cleaning the filler metal?
If so, what are they using and how are they cleaning it?
Are they wearing gloves when they handle the filler metal?
Porosity in aluminum is usually associated with hydrogen. Sources of hydrogen are many, not to be forgotten are the oils in the skin which are easily transferred to the filler metal if "clean" gloves are not worn. Wire brushes, tools, and stainless steel wool should be cleaned before every use. Even the gloves being worn are a consideration. "TIG" gloves are made using a process that does not use any oils to make the leather soft. Regular leather work gloves will not do if the quality requirements are on the high end of the quality spectrum.
The source of your problem can even be the base metals supplied to the welders. Castings are welded on a regular basis. If the castings have porosity, the welds will as well. The quality can be no better than the raw materials you start with.
Cutting fluids used with band saws, drilling equipment, etc. will not be removed with alcohol alone. Cleaning may require a couple of steps; remove heavy oils with a suitable solvent, followed by a wipe down with acetone, finally sprayed with 90% isopropyl alcohol to remove the last bit of residue.
Welders/material handlers often do not appreciate the need to keep base metals clean. They handle the cleaned raw material with their bare hands or grimey work gloves, lay the cleaned material it on surfaces that are contaminated with only God knows what, the list could go on for several pages. That simply will not do it porosity free welds are required.
Why are you grit blasting? The media used will embed into the softer aluminum base metal. Even power brushing will burnish the aluminum and embed oxide into the aluminum.
Are you draw filing the joins before welding them, and if you are, are the tools cleaned before use to remove contamination and oils? Are your wire brushes cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before each use? Is the wire brushing done using a back and forth motion or in one direction (like using a hacksaw, which is the better way)?
Looking at the photograph of the section through the weld, I would look at the cleaning methods, storage, and handling, as well as general house keeping practices in the shop.
Good luck - Al
