Abstract: A quenching apparatus which produces a good cooling effect on a metal sheet, facilitates switching between a condition of performing quenching and a condition of not performing the quenching, and can suppress thermal deformation caused by thermal radiation from the metal sheet. The quenching apparatus includes a bath that contains a cooling medium in which a metal sheet is immersed and at least one pair of rolls, which are disposed such that the metal sheet running in the bath is interposed between the at least one pair of rolls in the bath, distances of which from the metal sheet are changeable, and rotate at a peripheral speed higher than or equal to a running speed of the metal sheet.
