Provided is a continuous annealing line capable of producing a steel sheet having excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance. The continuous annealing line 100 includes: a payoff reel 10 that uncoils a cold-rolled coil to feed a cold-rolled steel sheet S, an annealing furnace 20 that passes and continuously anneals the steel sheet S, wherein a heating zone 22, a soaking zone 24, and a cooling zone 26 are disposed in this order, the annealing furnace 20 annealing the steel sheet S in a reducing atmosphere containing hydrogen in the heating zone 22 and the soaking zone 24, and cooling the steel sheet S in the cooling zone 26; a downstream line 30 that continuously passes the steel sheet S; a tension reel 50 that coils the steel sheet S; and a magnetic field applying apparatus 60 that applies a steady magnetic field to the steel sheet S.

An installation for coating a longitudinally-running, strip-shaped metal product includes a tank containing a coating in liquid form, into which the metal product is dipped, a wiping system disposed at a vertical outlet of the product from the tank and intended to wipe each face of the strip-shaped product, at least one ancillary device disposed at an outlet of the product from the wiping system in a manner facing one of the faces of the product, and a holding device holding the wiping system and the ancillary device. The holding device includes a securing unit forming a common lateral support for the wiping system and each ancillary device by using multiple securing points.
