Actually, galvanic corrosion is what most folks call the "battery effect" and is due to differing electron configurations of the metals. When you have a conductive path between dissimilar metals, you have an electron potential that basically sets up an electrical circuit. This is most definitely not the same as we English speakers call oxidation.
