Really?
Please explain how that could happen in this situation.

Copper Eze is used to coat flanges, threads, nuts, bolts that are subject to corrosion or seizure etc. prior to assembly, to enable easy disassembly for service or replacement. It is also ideal for exhaust manifold studs, exhaust clamps, turbocharger connections, spark plug threads and in drum and disc brake assemblies. It can stop brake squeaking if applied to the back of disc brake pads and is ideal for disc brake calliper sliding pins.
Copper Eze may be used in all types of industries including corrosive marine and mining environments as well as the petroleum (exploration, refining) industry.
Copper Eze is ideal for boat trailer wheel studs to stop them rusting and seizing. It can be used on external hinges, flanges, screws, nuts & bolts to prevent seizure and corrosion in automotive, marine, industrial, agricultural and general domestic environments.
Copper Eze may be used at all temperatures from sub-zero to 1093°C.

Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another, in the presence of an electrolyte. A similar galvanic reaction is exploited in primary cells to generate a useful electrical voltage to power portable devices. Wikipedia
So yes it is galvanic, normally in the presence of two dissimilar metals, like when a steel beam is 'galvanised' using Zinc in the presence of an electrical current. But that is what 'copper eeze ' is for, to seperate the metals with a lubricant and insulation against the metals.
