Provided is a method of producing a galvannealed steel sheet, the production method being capable of achieving a favorable plated appearance and of suppressing reductions in tensile strength. This method of producing a galvannealed steel sheet has: a step wherein a steel strip is transported through the inside of an annealing furnace, in order through a heating zone that includes a direct-firing-type furnace, a soaking zone, and a cooling zone, and the steel strip is annealed; a step wherein, after being discharged from the cooling zone, the steel strip is hot-dip galvanized; and a step wherein the zinc-plating applied to the steel strip is heated and alloyed. The production method is characterized in that a mixed gas that includes a humidified gas and a dry gas is supplied to the inside of the soaking zone from at least one gas supply port that is provided to the height-direction lower half of the soaking zone, and in that the dew point measured in the height-direction upper fifth of the soaking zone and the dew point measured in the height-direction lower fifth are both -20-0 ℃. |
