The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and the charge relaxation time of a strong-coupling superconductor are determined from solutions to the Eliashberg equations and a kinetic equation for the distribution function. The results yield a pronounced maximum at low temperatures in the thermal conductivity of pure Pb and a gradual disappearance of the maximum with increasing amounts of impurity scattering.
