An assembling method for an assembly is provided: the assembly comprising a cell structure () housed and held in a metal vessel () via a compressible material having a cushioning property () by arranging it between outer periphery of the structure () and the vessel () in a compressed state with applying a mounting pressure to the structure () via the material () to hold the structure () in the vessel (). Information regarding outside dimension of the structure () and/or inside dimension of the vessel () being marked on their surfaces prior to the start of assembly, and the information is read, and a cell structure () and a metal vessel () are selected based on read information in assembly to achieve a proper holding condition therebetween. Regardless of variations in external dimension of the structure, etc. constituting the assembly, the minimization thereof, and proper holding state may be achieved easily without causing a fracture of the structure, etc.

Assembling method using marked information and assembly assembled by said assembling method

After displaying information () on the surface of an outer wall () of a cell structure, a portion surrounding the displayed information () is coated with a coating agent to form a region permeated with a coating agent () wherein pores () of the outer wall () are filled with the coating agent in a section of the outer wall () on which the information () is displayed. The region permeated with a coating agent () prevents a catalyst solution from exuding from the inside of the outer wall () of the cell structure. According to a method for protecting the displayed information and the cell structure of which surface information is protected by the protection method, a displayed information portion after loading catalyst components is prevented from being colored, and the displayed information can be maintained in a readable state.
